Form Responses 1 looks like this: 6/1/2020 13:59:11
On my second sheet, it turns it into this: 43983.582763588
This is the formula I'm using:
=ArrayFormula(('Form Responses 1'!A2:A&" "))
What's going on here?! :| Please help. I've tried converting to plain text on Response Sheet 1 and it fixed it temporarily. However, new entries still turn into the weird format.
Answer:
Days are stored in Google Sheets as the number of days since 1st January 1900. You just need to change your Sheet's display format and remove the &" ".
Fix:
Change your formula to the following:
=ArrayFormula(TO_DATE('Form Responses 1'!A2:A))
Then, highlight the column for which this Arrayformula will enter data, follow the Format > Number > More formats > More date and time formats and fill out the opened modal to look like this:
Using the dropdown arrow on the right (v) to select each of the Month/Day/Year Hour:Minute:Second elements you like.
Afterwards your dates should look like this:

I'm trying to filter a list from another sheet by the dates of the entries and simply doesn't work:
=QUERY(Import!A:Z;"select A,T where T >= date '2021-08-27'";0)
When I remove the date part it works fine, as expexted for filtering by text. I need the ability to sort by exact dates though, because I would like to add some more complex filters. When I set the last part of the function to a 0 instead of a 1 it shows only the first entry.
The source column is set to the correct date format. The data is pulled from another document using the IMPORTRANGE() function (I don't seee how this should make any difference though).
I feel like I'm misssing something simple here and would be glad if someone can point me in the right direction!
Check your date column if all cells are formatted as date. I had missing values as "='---" and the query filtering by date returned nothing. Changing the missing values to "=NA()" did the job.
Try this:
=QUERY(Import!A:Z;"select A,T where T >= date '"&TEXT("2021-08-27";"yyyy-mm-dd")&"'")
I have created a dynamic calendar in a Google Sheets document and with it a list of dates:
The days are dynamically populated with the full date but formatted to only show the day (for example, the full value of August 22nd is 8/22/2020 but it is formatted to only show 22). I would like to use conditional formatting to highlight the date ranges listed on the right. For instance, I would simply like the dates 8/12, 8/13, and 8/14 (in addition to the other date ranges in those columns) to be highlighted using conditional formatting.
I've been able to get single ranges highlighted by directly targeting the I and J cells in the range A3:G8 like so:
=AND(A3>=$I$2,A3<=$J$2) or by switching up the column value. Removing any $ symbol breaks the conditional formatting.
I know this is not correct to get each range in the list to appear, but this is the only way I could get any ranges to work. Obviously I don't want to go one by one, but nothing else I've tried has worked. I've spent the last 5 hours scouring the internet and have come up with nothing like this problem. I have tried too many things to list here, and nothing has worked.
FWIW, this is my test data set. My full data set is much larger, is not sorted by start date, and has some start dates missing. I could potentially clean up the missing start dates if necessary, but my final dataset can't be sorted.
Ideally, the final product should look something like this:
Try
=SUMPRODUCT((A1<=$J$2:$J)*(A1>=$I$2:$I)*(A1<>""))>0
You can add as many rows as you wish.
Explanation
In this formula, you have 3 conditions
=SUMPRODUCT(condition1 * condition2 * condition3)
If one condition is false, you will get 0 (for instance truefalsetrue = 0 )
If all three conditions are true, you will get something > 0, that means that the date is not null and between a range of dates
In column A I have date and time.
In Column B I have this formula to split them:
={"COL B","COL C"; ArrayFormula(IF(NOT(ISBLANK(A2:A)), SPLIT(A2:A, " ")))}
My sheet is linked to a Google form.
Every time a new sheet is submitted, the new data looks like 44075 and 0.9756944444 and I always need to format as Date and the other one as time.
Is there any way that my formula will automatically format the splitted value in col b and c?
You might try this:
={"Date","Time"; ArrayFormula(IF(ISBLANK(A2:A),, {DATEVALUE(A2:A),TIMEVALUE(A2:A)}))}
or this:
={"Date","Time"; ArrayFormula(IF(ISBLANK(A2:A),, {INT(A2:A),MOD(A2:A,1)}))}
In either case, you'll want to do Format>Number Date for B and Format>Number>Time for C.
UPDATE:
Since you seem to want the formatting to appear a certain way without using the Format>Number option, this will output dates and times...
=ARRAYFORMULA({"Date","Time";IF(A2:A="",,TEXT(A2:A,{"m/d/yy","h:mm am/pm"}))})
I've tried a lot of formula and surrendered.
I've just added a script:
var date = ss.getRange('R2:R');
date.setNumberFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
var Time = ss.getRange('S2:S');
Time.setNumberFormat("hh:mm:ss AM/PM");
I have a Google Sheets document with a series of fields for every day in the year. The top row (Actually, row 2) is the Months (by full name, eg. January, February, etc.). The A column is numeric, from 1 to 31. There are several fields for each date, so the fields in the A column are merged (in other words, it's not A2, A3, A4 - more like, A2, A7, A12).
What I'd like to do is put a a hyperlink at, say, B1, that points to "today's" top field. So, today's would point to J7, and I could just click the link at B1, and get taken directly to that field.
I know this is going to involve the HYPERLINK function, but I can't figure out how to get it to work. Something like:
=HYPERLINK("#gid=0&#range=" & MATCH(TEXT(TODAY(),"MMMM"),2:2,0) & MATCH(DAY(TODAY()),A:A,1),"Click for today")
But I can't get it to work right. Any thoughts?
Assuming your months are in every column from B2:M2:
=HYPERLINK("#gid=*000000000*&range="&ADDRESS(MATCH(DAY(TODAY()),A2:A,1)+1,MONTH(TODAY())+1,4),"Click for today")
I wrote the formula so that the link could go in A1 without running into trouble, if you like. (It would also work in B1, etc.)
If there are spaces between your months, just reorder what you had so the MATCH for the row is first and wrap it in ADDRESS( row, column, 4):
=HYPERLINK("#gid=*000000000*&range="&ADDRESS(MATCH(DAY(TODAY()),A2:A,1)+1,MATCH(TEXT(TODAY(),"MMMM"),2:2,0),4),"Click for today")
(To be clear for future users, you'd need to replace the gid= number with the actual number corresponding to your sheet.)
Eric Tyler - Close. But it got me where I needed to be, so thank you so much. I was missing two key funtions: ADDRESS, and SUBSTITUTE. Here's what wound up working. (Note: In my case, the gid is 0.)
=HYPERLINK("#gid=0&#range="&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(MATCH(DAY(TODAY()),A:A,1),MATCH(TEXT(TODAY(),"MMMM"),1:1,0)),"$",""),"Click here")
The ADDRESS line the way you proposed it results in the address in the format $A$1, which the HYPERLINK function doesn't like. Using that just brought be to the sheet, but not the actual cell. By using SUBSTITUTE to get rid of the $ marks, that resolved the problem.)
Thanks again!
I have imported a CSV file to the spreadsheet that includes columns with Dates and timestamp (Columns D,E,K,L) and I'm currently facing 2 problems with these columns.
Some rows are formatted as text/string and I can't seem to change it to date format. I tried manually changing it via format>number>datetime but it remains the same.
the format of the date is being read incorrectly by spreadsheet. For example, 5/11/2018 is being read as May 11, 2019 but if you try to review the spreadsheet, it should be read as November 5, 2018. I tried playing with the format and spreadsheet settings to no avail.
Spreadsheet Sample
I'd appreciate any inputs.
UPDATE
For Column D & E, I have already converted all rows to Date but the problem persists where in some rows are being read as DD/MM/YYYY and some rows MM/DD/YYYY. This creates date discrepancy when I try to make data visualization using these data:(
I am unable to convert all rows in Column L to date format. Some rows are still being read as text/string.
if you have a spare column you can use this formula to correct it:
=DATE(RIGHT(A1; 4); MID(A1; 4; 2); LEFT(A1; 2))
also, you can try to change locale settings in your spreadsheet because it looks like that your spreadsheet uses mm/dd/yyyy format as default. eg. you can try for example Czech locale where default is dd/mm/yyyy
To format custom dates in Google Sheets:
Highlight the column to be formatted.
Navigate the app's menu path:
Format >> Number >> More Formats >> More data and time formats
Put your cursor in the top field of the popup and edit as necessary...
Delete parts you don't want.
Add parts you do want (but make sure you're adding them left-to-right).
Put character(s) between the fields as separators.
Format each part via its dropdown list of options.
Click the "Apply" button, and you're done.
