I was able to make the following gantt chart with the simple formula below, however i am having trouble adapting the formula to handle the case when the project lasts 3 months - you can see the example on row 4.
What i did was simply put a date Jul 1 2020, Aug 1, 2020, etc in row 1
and then in each row, i check the start and end against row 1 to see if its equal... if so, set the cell to true, and use conditional formatting to color it.
Now how would you check if the the row 1 date is in the range between start and end, and then set to true?
Thank you!
=ifna(
ifs(
AND(month($F2)=month(J$1), year($F2)=year(J$1)), true,
AND(month($G2)=month(J$1), year($G2)=year(J$1)), true
)
,"")
=IF(AND(
C1 >= $A2,
C1 <= $B2
),TRUE," ")
Test it here if you want: link to spreadsheet
Just test if the month in the first row falls between the dates in the first two columns. So the custom formula would be:
=and(H$1>=$F2,H$1<=$G2)

I've created a custom schedule in my Google Spreadsheet broken down onto weeks with Mondays in row 1 and Sundays in row 2.
So far I can highlight only particular day in rows 1 or 2 that equals to today (simple condition 'Date is in the past week').
I need to highlight entire column if Monday>today and today<Sunday.
How to do it via conditional formatting formulas?
Thanks.
I am looking to create a spreadsheet that my staff fill out, it then gives me a master sheet with all the data, then I import dynamically to my financial spreadsheet telling me the average cost of my client over the last 30 days.
I am looking to create an AVERAGE formula of the last 30 days when Date = Today (Monday) (I want the weekday Monday as that's when staff hand in invoices)
Hope this makes sense, it's really tough!
Here's a video of me explaining my desired outcome
https://www.loom.com/share/3a9cb75052b246d1af2ba2f9ce9180a7
I've followed several guides & can't figure it out.
=ArrayFormula(iferror(query(average(if(today() - weekday(today(),3)-30)))))
I expected $90 average and I just get blank
You could use this formula:
=AVERAGE(VLOOKUP(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2)+1,A:H,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2)-6,A:H,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2)-13,A:H,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2)-20,A:H,2,FALSE))
To break it down in to its component parts, the AVERAGE is taken from VLOOKUP results:
VLOOKUP(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2)+1,A:H,2,FALSE)
The VLOOKUP is looking for the last Monday from the current date:
TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2)+1
Then
TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2)-6
and so on...
When using on your sheet, you will have to specify the column you want to reference in your look up, for colunm B (brand1) use: A:H,2,FALSE), for colunm C (brand2) use: A:H,3,FALSE), for colunm d (brand3) use: A:H,4,FALSE) and so on...
=INDEX(QUERY({INDIRECT("A2:D"&ROW()-1)},
"select avg(Col2),avg(Col3),avg(Col4)
where Col1 <= date '"&TEXT(TODAY(), "yyyy-MM-dd")&"'
and Col1 >= date '"&TEXT(TODAY()-30, "yyyy-MM-dd")&"'"), 2, )
How can I highlight cells in Google Sheets if current month?
The cells have Jan-2017, Feb-2017 etc. and not dates.
I just want the current month highlighted so that the rest of the team can keep track of our monthly stats.
I'm supposing the column that has the months is A, and that the actual values of each cell is the first day of each month (so 2/1/2017 for February for example).
Select where you want the conditional formating to go, and open the conditional formatting sidebar.
Choose "Custom Formula" from the dropdown, and paste the following in:
=$A:$A=(today()-day(today())+1)
What we are doing here is:
=A$:A$ - Look in column A for the following
today() get todays date
-day(today()) get the day and subtract it from the today in the previous point
+1 add 1 to the result because 2/8/2017 - 8 = 2/0/2017, which google sheets actually recognizes as 1/31/2017, so by adding 1 it will become 2/1/2017 which is what is wanted.
The result of this sum is then compared to the data found in A$:A$ and the results which match the sum (today()-day(today())+1) are highlighted.
Just for the record, this may work as well using conditional formatting's custom formula:
=month($A:$A)=month(today())
Considering the dates are in the column A
I'm using Google sheets for data entry that auto-populates data from my website whenever someone submits to a form. The user's data imports into my sheet with a timestamp (column A).
Using the Arrayformula function, I'd like a column to autofill all the dates of a timestamp within that month. For example, if 1/5/2016 is entered as a timestamp, I'd like the formula to autofill in the dates 1/1/2016 - 1/31/2016.
Additionally, I'd like other months added in the Arrayformula column. For example, if both 1/5/2016 and 2/3/2016 are entered in column A, I'd like the formula to fill in the dates from 1/1/2016 - 2/29/2016.
I know I can manually write in the dates and drag them down the column, but I have a lot of sheets, and using an Arrayformula will save me a lot of time. I've tried a similar formula in column B, but it doesn't autofill in the date gaps. Is what I'm looking for possible?
Here's a copy of the editable spreadsheet I'm referring to: https://docs.google.com/a/flyingfx.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ka3cZfeXlIKfNzXwNCOWV15o74Bqp-4zaj_twC3v1KA/edit?usp=sharing
Short answer
Cell A1
1/1/2016
Cell A2
=ArrayFormula(ADD(A1,row(INDIRECT("A1:A"&30))))
Explanation
In Google Sheets dates are serialized numbers where integers are days and fractions are hours, minutes and so on. Once to have this in mind, the next is to find a useful construct.
INDIRECT(reference_string,use_A1_notation) is used to calculate a range of the desired size by given the height as a hardcoded constant, in this case 30. You should not worry about circular references in this construct.
ROW(reference) returns an array of consecutive numbers.
A1 is the starting date.
ADD(value1,value2). It's the same as using +. As the first argument is a scalar value and second argument is an array of values, it returns an array of the same size of the second argument.
ArrayFormula(array_formula) displays the values returned by array_formula
As A1 is a date, by default the returned values will be formatted as date too.
Increment by Month
If anyone wants to be able to increment by month, here's a way I've been able to accomplish that. Your solution #ptim got me on the right track, thanks.
Formula
Placed in B1
First_Month = 2020-11-01 [named range]
=ARRAYFORMULA(
IF(
ROW(A:A) = 1,
"Date",
IF(
LEN(A:A),
EDATE( First_Month, ROW( A:A ) -2 ),
""
)
)
)
Result
ID Month
1 2020-11-01
2 2020-12-01
3 2021-01-01
4 2021-02-01
5 2021-03-01
I have an alternative to the above, which allows you to edit only the first row, then add protection (as I like to do with the entire first row where I use this approach for other formulas):
=ARRAYFORMULA(
IF(
ROW(A1:A) = 1,
"Date",
IF(
ROW(A1:A) = 2,
DATE(2020, 1, 1),
DATE(2020, 1, 1) + (ROW(A1:A) - 2)
)
)
)
// pseudo code!
const START_DATE = 2020-01-01
if (currentRow == 1)
print "Date"
else if (currentRow == 2)
print START_DATE
else
print START_DATE + (currentRow - 2)
Notes:
the initial date is hard-coded (ensure that the two instances match!)
ROW(A1:1) returns the current row number, so the first if statement evaluates as "if this is Row 1, then render Date"
"if this is row 2, render the hard-coded date"
(nB: adding an integer to a date adds a day)
"else increment the date in A2 by the (adjusted) number of rows" (the minus two accounts for the two rows handled by the first two ifs (A1 and A2). Eg: in row 3, we want to add 1 to the date in row 2, so current:3 - 2 = 1.
Here's a live example (I added conditional formatting to even months to assist sanity checking that the last day of month is correct):

Also - I find the following VScode extension handy for syntax highlighting Google Sheets formulas: https://github.com/leonidasIIV/vsc_sheets_formula_extension

nice. thanks.
To get the list length to adapt to the number of days in the selected month simply replace the static 30 by eomonth(A1;0)-A1. This accommodates for months with 31 days, and for February which can have either 28 or 29 days.
=ArrayFormula(ADD(A1,row(INDIRECT("A1:A"&eomonth(A1;0)-A1))))
Updated for 2022:
This can now be done pretty easily with the SEQUENCE function, it's also a bit more adaptable.
Below will list all of the days in columns but you can swap the first 2 values to place in rows instead:
=SEQUENCE(1,7,today()-7,1)
More specific to your example, below will take the date entered (via cell, formula, or named cell) and give you the full month in columns:
=SEQUENCE(1,day(EOMONTH("2016-1-5",0)),EOMONTH("2016-1-5",-1)+1,1)
I've been struggling with this formula for a few days now. I'd like to return a specified cell based on the current month. For example: If it's January return AC5, if its February return AC6, march returns AC7, etc.
I'm using =MONTH(NOW()) to return the number of the month in cell T2, but just can't figure out where to go from here. Can you have more than one condition in an IF statement? I can't get past the idea that if the month equals "1" its true (so use January) but if it's false what would it do?
Is this even possible to do in Google Sheets?
EDIT: I found a formula that works! It is long and ugly but it works correctly:
=IF(T2=1,AC5,IF(T2=2,AC6,IF(T2=3,AC7,IF(T2=4,AC8,IF(T2=4,AC9,IF(T2=5,AC9,IF(T2=6,AC10,IF(T2=7,AC11,IF(T2=8,AC12,IF(T2=9,AC13,IF(T2=10,AC14,IF(T2=11,AC15,IF(T2=12,AC16,poop)))))))))))))
I nested the IF statement to death, but it does what I want.
You'd better use separate table:
1 AC5
2 AC6
3 AC7
...
and Vlookup it:
= vlookup(MONTH(NOW()), A:B, 2, 0)
to return the value, use Indirect:
=INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(MONTH(NOw()),A:B,2,0))
