I am trying to set up an expenses sheet for a team I am running. We compete in both Canada and the US so have expenses in both currencies. I use =GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:USDCAD") and =GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:CADUSD") so when I enter an expense in one currency, I get the current exchange rate.
I would like to be able to make it so expenses are pegged at the exchange rate on the date the money was spent. How should I go about doing this?
There are ways to lock it to the close of a specific date:
=INDEX(GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:USDCAD","price",date(2016,4,11)),2,2)
To break it down:
GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:USDCAD","price",date(2016,4,11))
Returns an array with 4 cells in a 2 x 2 array. The value we want is in the bottom right cell.
We use INDEX to find that value.

I am using a US shootings database where the event is specified by 3 columns, state event occured, date, total casualties. I want to make a dashboard in Tableau that has dynamic sum and sorting where if the year column was a page that I could click through, the graphic would reflect the top ten states of sum(casualties) of that specified range. So my data ranges from 1924-2022, and if I started the page at 1980, it would graph the top 10 states with the sum of totals between 1924-1980. The next page could potentially be a different top 10 of states and would reflect the current top 10 states as the sum(casualties) from 1924-1981.
I hope this makes sense. I apologize if it does not as I am just starting out. I did attempt to sort the data in python by making a column for each year, and you could move horizontally along a state to see it's totals change as each year goes by. Would it be best to add these year columns as a group and sort by top 10 and year that way?
Edit:
Attempting to click through the year filter and dynamically sort the graph by top 10 states with total shootings from 1924-current year
Can you use SQL to query the database? If so, you can insert a date parameter in the query that replaces the use of pages to calculate the sum based on the earliest datapoint to the year you have selected and then just click show parameter. When you create the parameter make sure you set step size to one year and switch the parameter to slider. You can also create a state parameter that is based off that column of data and then use it to filter the data in SQL. However, you may need to use a calculated field or SQL case statements if you want to change the granularity from all the states to one selected state.
I hope this helps you. If you need more clarification, please comment and I will try to provide an example.
I have a list of customers and there price of the product. I want to change the price anytime might be once in a month or once in three months or once within 15 days. I keep changing according to the market demand. my need is that my old price calculation should not affect with new price in google sheet. kindly help me with best formula or suitable link where it fulfill my need
Your first intuition should be to find how to lookup for the price for a particular customer against the table of prices you've set up for each product: so your first choice is to use the function VLOOKUP to find (vertically) the the customer in your table, then to use HLOOKUP to find (horizontally) the product, both together will give you the matching price. But now you have another problem: being able to change the price from time to time. You could use a simple approach (which avoids dates manipulations), by adding another criteria in your VLOOKUP search, which can be something like PRICE ID:
and keep it very simple: A,B,C,D...etcc for any new price. Meaning before the date, you will choose which price should be considered for the row that you're entering data for.
So to get the RATE:
= ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(K5:K) * LEN(M5:M), VLOOKUP(L3 & K5:K, {
$B$4:$B & $A$4:$A,
$C$4:$I
}, match(M5:M, $B$4:$I$4, 0), 0), ))
To get the AMT:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(N5:N),N5:N*O5:O,))

I collect customer feedback for my education business and add it to a Google Sheet. The feedback data has a submission date (A2:A) and some satisfaction metrics, which I visualize in a Google Data Studio dashboard.
The problem is that I want the feedback per cohort, but not everyone fills in the feedback form on the same day. I have a list of all courses with their respective dates (Cohorts!A2:A), and I want to assign each feedback submission to their respective cohort in a new column. It would be nice to also match it to the specific course type and country, but for now matching the cohort date would suffice.
I've tried using VLOOKUP and ARRAYFORMULA to go through the feedback dates and get the nearest past date to take it as the "course date" for that student. All the solutions I've tried either only take a single date or TODAY as a reference, but I have a whole list I'd like to fill in.
From my understanding, you are trying to round the timestamp, then match it to your course table?
To round a timestamp to a date:
=INT($A2)
When doing lookups like you're describing, I frequently end up calculating the nearest week as well - this formula returns the Sunday of the week start. Figured it might be helpful.
=text($A2+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY($A2),0,-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6),"m/d/yyyy")
I'm using Google Sheets to organize data from my global royalty statements. Currently I'm querying several tabs (one for each country) to produce a single table with results from all countries. As you can imagine, I don't want 125 Japanese Yen showing up in my charts and graphs as $125 USD (125 Y is equivalent to about $1.09 USD).
Since I receive my royalty statements in their respective currencies, I'd like to apply average conversion rates either during the query operation or after the fact. Since the table is being generated dynamically, the values won't always be the same, so I need some way to apply the conversion by searching the list of currencies on the fly. I've got a separate table on the same tab containing all the average conversion rates for each currency. Here's a sample of how this is set up:
So basically I just don't know how to say, in coding terms, "If this line item comes from the UK, divide the royalty amount by the UK exchange rate. If it comes from Canada, divide by the Canadian rate, etc."
Anyone have any insight as to how I might pull this off (or whether it's possible)? The actual table includes over 500 line items from a dozen different countries, so doing this by hand is something I'd like to avoid.
I believe you are looking for the GoogleFinance() function. You may want to set the Country to a pick list of the valid country entries so you could create the string for the conversion. I have not looked at many, but this will take a value in CA & and apply the exchange rate to convert it to the US $ Equivalent. The exchange rate in this case is an average of, I believe, the past 30 days.
=C2 * GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:CADUSD" , "average")
For your use, you can get the country code from row M if you change it to match what the formula is after, such as CAD for Canadian Dollars."
=C2 * GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:" & M2 & "USD" , "average")
Another option would be to create a lookup table and use VLOOKUP or some other function, depending on how you set up your table.
I am writing a rails app that deals with product inventory. I would like to include the following features, and am struggling with developing an efficient algorithm:
View stock history (how many were in stock on each date)
Quantity removed from warehouse, and quantity added to warehouse over specific periods of time
Amount of time the product was out of stock in any given period
My questions are as follows:
What is the best way of tracking changes? In addition to my Products
table, should I create another table called
HistoricProductQuantities, and insert a new record each time there
is a change in the quantity?
What number should I track? The historic stock quantity (i.e. 50 in
stock on this day, 24 in stock on that day), or the CHANGE in stock
quantity i.e. -5 (5 sold) or 15 (15 added to inventory)? Or do I
track both in separate tables?
Thanks for your help.
First of all I recommend implementing Date Dimensions on your application, as it seems like you will be doing a lot of Time related calculations. Search on Google for date dimensions as it's beyond the scope of your questions. That said, I believe it will be of great benefit for your app to implement and use date dimensions.
As far as your direct questions go:
What is the best way of tracking changes? In addition to my Products table, should I create another table called HistoricProductQuantities, and insert a new record each time there is a change in the quantity?
Yes you could do this, I would probably call it HistoricProductSnapshot and keep track of the product activity in there on daily basis. With this information as well as time dimensions you could do calculations such as "how many of Product X Did we have 5 days ago or a month ago etc etc."
What number should I track? The historic stock quantity (i.e. 50 in stock on this day, 24 in stock on that day), or the CHANGE in stock quantity i.e. -5 (5 sold) or 15 (15 added to inventory)? Or do I track both in separate tables?
I do not have experience writing inventory control software but I believe with the Snapshot table I mentioned on the question above you would only have to keep track of quantities per day. The Change in product counts could then be calculated from your snapshot table. You could for example have a function that will output the product amount in a given time range as an array. Example: From March 1 to March 7 these were the stock amounts for Product Y [45,40,39,27,22,45,44].
Hope that helps. As I said I am not a product inventory guy but I have worked with Point of Sales Systems and the procedure above should give you a could enough start for what you are trying to do.
This gem could be usefull for tracking changes in models https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited
Keep the data raw. I would personally create a new data entry every day, displaying how much items you have in stock per day. Or you can make the interval much shorter, such as every 12 hours.
For our particular use case:
We had a table called Days, which had a many to many relationship with products, and each "relationship" will have a value called quantity (to keep track of quantity of product per day). Additionally per relationship, we had another value for the relationship with transactions (a one to many relationship) that has the entries for the time of transaction and remaining stocks.
I would personally advise you to use the quantity of stock as the raw data, as it will enable you to gather the data such as how much items were removed during a certain transaction, when the item was out of stock and when it became in stock, all through the data. When you have data in which you need to perform statistical calculations on, it's best to store this data as raw values (quantity of the item).
