I have a spreadsheet that takes data from people who submit me their forms. I have it set up so people can use check boxes to fill out the times of the day they are free. However sometimes people will check "busy all day" and check times like "1:00pm,3:00pm". So that it appears as:
busy all day,1:00pm,3:00pm
on the googlesheet. Also sometimes there is duplicates such as:
free all day, 1:00pm,2:00pm,3:00pm etc.
Is there a way where I can have my googlesheet validate the data that the people send me? Like checking if a cell has "busy all day" in it and erasing the rest of cells contents besides:
busy all day
try formula:
=REGEXEXTRACT(A1,"busy all day|free all day|.*")
get the result:
Data Result
busy all day,1:00pm,3:00pm busy all day
free all day, 1:00pm,2:00pm,3:00pm free all day
busy all day busy all day
free all day free all day
1:00pm,2:00pm 1:00pm,2:00pm
The formula finds and returns "busy all day" or "free all day" or any other text.

I'm working on a Google Sheets timesheet. I want to conditionally format a cell if the user enters a Time Out past Midnight. In the example below, the user added an extra 15 minutes to his Time Out, which belongs on the row for the next day.
timesheet
I tried Conditionally Formatting a cell for any time greater than Midnight, which didn't work because ALL times are beyond Midnight. Also, I want to apply the conditional formatting to every cell in my Time Out columns. So I'm guessing the solution must involve the ARRAY function.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Assuming you mean that you need to highlight those timelines that start in one day and finish in the next one, you can think that the condition will be true if the hour of leaving is smaller than the hour of arriving (unless you can have more than 24 hours straight, in which case this wouldn't work).
Then you could set this condition:
=if(hour($C2)<hour($B2),true,false)
I have a 2 columns. One with a planned time of departure and another with actual time of departure. Up until a few days ago, if there was a delay, the difference would read as a negative number. For example, if the planned time was 8:00AM and the actual time was 8:21AM, the 3rd column showed a delay as "-00:21:00"), but now the duration of the delay is displayed as 24:00:00 minus the number of minutes of the delay, as shown in this snippet:
Fortunately, any/all formulas still read and process the values, so this is really just a cosmetic issue for anyone who wants to glance at the raw data.
sounds like the formatting got reset. select your Delayed column and change the format to Duration

What would a formula look like to calculate the average tons per hour by driver in this example spreadsheet? Correcting for long times or even days between loads.
We're being charged on an hourly basis for freight so I'd like to figure out which drivers are the most efficient.
It's been tricky because the only concrete source of information we have is the scale tickets. So if they only do a single load in a day or go several hours between loads then the data would be skewed if you use a simple metric like time elapsed.
Also, I'll need the time elapsed between rows (not just the difference between Time In and Time Out) unless that time is > 1.5 hours. So something like:
=(TIMEVALUE(E3)-TIMEVALUE(D2))*24
...With some added logic to not include anything over 1.5 hours.
If a pivot table would be better than a lengthy formula, that's fine with me.
Here's an example for some added context: Driver Cody goes to Farm Nic to receive a load of hay, then comes back to the weigh station (Ticket, Time In, Gross are then determined), dumps the load, comes back to weigh again empty (Tare, Net, and Time Out are determined here), and goes back to Farm Nic until all the hay is harvested. Then it's on to Farm Zach and Farm Williams to repeat the process. There are several Drivers going at a time, which can be seen if the spreadsheet is sorted by Ticket. My goal is to figure out how many Tons each driver delivers per hour. The time elapsed would include the time between Tickets, because Time In and Time Out just show the time elapsed between coming in with a load of hay and leaving to go back to the field. To get a true measure of tons delivered per hour, you'd need to include the time between tickets, but also remove any instance where that time is greater than 1.5 hours. That will account for circumstances where the Driver isn't working and we aren't being billed, such as during equipment breakdowns.
I'm not much of a formulas guy so I hope this suffice your needs.
First I added a column to your sheet, to calculate how many amount of hours is taking for every single row, to do that I made use of the TIMEVALUE function:
=(TIMEVALUE(E2)-TIMEVALUE(D2))*24
Now you just need to get all the driver's hours and tons and make the quotient total_tons / total_hours. For that they may be some other functions that would do the job, myself I have used QUERY:
=QUERY(Sheet1!A:M, "select C, sum(I), sum(M), sum(I) / sum(M) group by C", 1)
I think pretty straightforward query, group all the data by C (Driver's name) and then sum the column I (tons) and the column M (hours).
With the following result:
The format may be a little off but you can change it as mush as you want. You can copy or play with the sheet
EDIT
After you change your requirements I made a change to my formula to calculate the hours worked:
=IF(
AND(
C3=C2,
A3=A2,
IFERROR(
(TIMEVALUE(E3)-TIMEVALUE(D2))*24) <= 1.5,
TRUE
),
(TIMEVALUE(E3)-TIMEVALUE(D2))*24,
(TIMEVALUE(E2)-TIMEVALUE(D2))*24
)
Let me explain here, before there was a much simpler formula but now having multiple rows that we need to check makes the formula more lenghty.
First with the IF and AND statement we check if the next row has:
The same day (A3=A2)
The same Driver (C3=C2)
Less than an hour and a half of difference (TIMEVALUE(E3)-TIMEVALUE(D2))*24) <= 1.5)
And also because the last row throws an error trying to TIMEVALUE an empty column I had to add the IFERROR
After that the TRUE condition (same day, same driver, under 1.5h hours difference) will calculate from the current Time in (D2) to the next Time in (D3):
(TIMEVALUE(D3)-TIMEVALUE(D2))*24
And in the FALSE statement we do the same we were doing before:
(TIMEVALUE(E2)-TIMEVALUE(D2))*24
The QUERY function stays the same. And the results have decreased drastically:

Quotes are not sourced from all markets and may be delayed up to 20
minutes. Information is provided 'as is' and solely for informational

This advice appears when I use GOOGLEFINANCE() function in my spreadsheet. It is unfortunate that the data is delayed up to 20 minutes.
What is the best way to get real-time stock prices? Suppose my budget is around $50 per month.
Be aware that I trade only US equities, i.e. no bonds, no cryptocurrencies, and so on.
UPDATE
Here is a sample version of my portfolio spreadsheet : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hIfCuupmc_OZ6514DXFe_NrDCX1Ix6tcvySP_VolppI/edit#gid=42667785. It would be important for me to get the price in real-time, and not delayed by maximum 20 minutes.
Is there a way to fix that?
The GOOGLEFINANCE formula is not consistent with the delays. Different stocks can be delayed by different times. You can get an estimate of the delay by using GOOGLEFINANCE("TICKER","DATADELAY").
This is at least somewhat helpful, but not ideal, because you'll have a price on your sheet and you don't know exactly when the price was from, just an estimate of how old the price might be. And forget about pre-market or after-hours. Once the market closes, all bets are off you'll have no idea when the price is from (i.e. after hours quote or regular session close).
If you want accurate real-time quotes, you're going to need an add-on. You said your budget is $50. That doesn't leave you a lot of options. For $9 per month you can use the Market Data Add-on and get real-time stock prices along with historical intraday prices. There is also a free tier that gives you 100 free daily prices.
Market Data's STOCKDATA formula is a drop-in replacement for GOOGLEFINANCE, so it follows the same syntax. It will accomplish what you need. For example, STOCKDATA("SPY","ALL") will produce an output like this:
Date
Bid
Bid Size
Mid
Ask
Ask Size
Last
Volume
5/19/2022 9:09:48
388.36
1400
388.38
388.41
1400
388.37
2715229
Note that the date and time of the quote is included in the output, so you know exactly when the quote was fetched. There is no doubt as to whether the quote is coming from the previous day or whether it is a quote from the pre-market session (which is the case of this example). If you compare to the current time using NOW(), you'll find the Market Data quotes are delayed by about 1-2 seconds, which is due to network latency from your Google Sheet to the servers.
it's important to notice the word "may" in the first sentence:
...and may be delayed up to 20 minutes...
usually, it's way under 20 minutes (around 1 - 1:30 minutes), but there could be times when some delay may occur.
and to answer your question: no, it's not possible to force it under 1 minute
if you want to go full pro mode with Google Sheets then try: =CRYPTOFINANCE()
The documentation links from player0 indicate that ONLY crypto exchanges are supported. Data is NOT available from stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, etc).
So I am in charge of office hours for a class at my University. I have to send out a google form every week for the students to sign up. The way the form is sent back, the data is grouped by Name, and the times they are available are grouped by days.
To make it easier on myself, I want to group it by times. Basically, I want it so that each day/time will have its own row, and the names of the people who want the time slot would be grouped together in the adjacent column.
I already separated the groups of times so that each time has its own cell, but I cannot figure out how to regroup the data by time.
I should also mention that each session of OH is 30 minutes and that each student can only receive one session of office hours a week because of limited availability. I also need to group the sessions into blocks so that the teachers won't have idle time (basically a teacher will have office hours from 5:00-6:30 PM on Tuesday, instead of 5:00-5:30 PM and 6:00-6:30 PM on Tuesday and 8:00-8:30 PM on Thursday). Grouping the names of the people who want office hours by the times that they are available would make it a lot easier to set up that week's office hours schedule.
Here's a link to an example:

Look at the "matrix choices" sheet.
I created a Matrix of students and times (which I think is better), but there is also a list of names for each timeslot on the end too.
have a play changing some of the 1's (sessions applied for) to "G" (short for Granted). Ive set up some conditional formatting and data validation.
