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))

I am trying to build a sleep tracker in Google Sheets (link). The idea is to select a year and a month from a drop-down list in cells A1 and A2, which would then populate columns based on the number of days in that month. I have tried different formulas that I found on stack overflow and elsewhere, but could not get them to work.
In short:
I am looking for a formula that will populate the columns with days of that month and a name of the day in a row bellow.
Looking for a way to summarize the time of sleep at the end of the each day, based on a ticked checkbox.
I am not sure how the year and month selectors should be formatted (as plain number or a date).
Is there a way to automatically insert check-boxes to the days of the month?
This is the formula that I have tried to adjust:
=INDEX({TEXT(SEQUENCE(1; DAY(EOMONTH(A2&"/"&A1;0)); A2&"/"&A1; 1); {"d"; "ddd"}); {"Total"; ""}})
But it returns with "Error In ARRAY_LITERAL, an Array Literal was missing values for one or more rows."
Please note that ";" is used as an argument separator instead of "," (regional settings).
Thank you in advance!
I think that with a very small adaptation and date formatting you'll be able to easily do it. First with your selector in A2, you could set it as actual dates, but format them as mmmm:
Then, repeat the sequence in both rows starting in C2 and C3:
=SEQUENCE(1,DAY(EOMONTH(A2,0)),A2)
But formatting row 3 as ddd:
PS: yes, you can do row 3 with TEXT and INDEX. Choose your preferred one:
=INDEX(TEXT(SEQUENCE(1,DAY(EOMONTH(A2,0)),A2),"dddd"))
UPDATE with TEXT VALUES
Return to your previous A2 dropdown and try this, using MATCH to find the number of the month, and DATE to locate the correct beginning of the month in that year:
For row 2:
=SEQUENCE(1,DAY(EOMONTH(DATE(A1,MATCH(A2,{"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","September","October","November","December"},0),1),0)),
DATE(A1,MATCH(A2,{"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","September","October","November","December"},0),1))
For row 3:
=INDEX(TEXT(SEQUENCE(1,DAY(EOMONTH(DATE(A1,MATCH(A2,{"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","September","October","November","December"},0),1),0)),
DATE(A1,MATCH(A2,{"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","September","October","November","December"},0),1)),"dddd")
)
The "mirror" sheet contains data.
Column B of the "bonus" sheet calculates the number of projects in a given month in which the specialist is involved.
=COUNTA(query(mirror!$A$2:$B, "select B where
A <= date'"&TEXT(EOMONTH($A6,0),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"'
and
A >= date'"&TEXT($A6,"yyyy-mm-dd")&"'
ORDER BY B"))
On the "mirror" there are no projects for Dec 2020 and Jan 2021.
The counts function substitutes 1 for the "bonus" in these months, although 0 is expected.
I've already broken my head, I don't know how to overcome it. I would be grateful for ideas.
Upd. Column A of the "bonus" sheet contains dates in the form of 8/1/2020, 9/1/2020, 10/1/2020, etc. beginning of the month.
In column A of the "mirror" sheet, the dates can be 10/5/2020, 10/31/2020, i.e. not necessarily the end of the month.
COUNTA counts an error as 1 (because it is "a non-null something"). So if your QUERY finds nothing, it will return an error — which will be counted as "one thing."
Try wrapping your QUERY in IFERROR, inside your COUNTA:
=COUNTA(IFERROR(QUERY(...)))
You can use SUMPRODUCT:
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(mirror!$A$2:$A)=MONTH(A2))*(YEAR(mirror!$A$2:$A)=YEAR(A2)))
I have a Spreadsheet with duration values in one column, and date values in another.
I want to sum duration values based on a particular day of the week... eg, in the example screenshot, the first and last dates are Friday. So I want a formula that would add the duration values from the corresponding cells... a total of 17:00
I've tried a formula like this. But this doesn't work.
=SUMIF(D:D, CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(DATE(),2), "Fri") , A:A)
You could try:
=sumproduct(weekday(A:A)=6,D:D)
try:
=TEXT(ARRAYFORMULA(SUMIF(WEEKDAY(A:A, 11), 5, D:D)), "[h]:mm")
Not sure if there is an easy way because I'm noob at Google Sheets, but try with array formula:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIF(D1:D3;WEEKDAY(A1:A3;2);5))
Using it as array formula, I got this:
Hope this helps
One approach to do this is the following:
In column E put the weekday values. Use WEEKDAY() function which depending on your setting will make Friday any integer between 1-7. If using default Friday will be "6".
Use the SUMIF() function. Eg.=sumif(E:E,"=6",D:D)
Make sure the cell where your SUMIF() formula resides, also has a duration number format.
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):

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)
