I'm currently using a Google Spreadsheet at work to track employee hours. I had been using a formula to calculate hours, with hours worked expressed as a time (e.g. 6 and a half hours shows as 6:30). My boss has asked that I change the hours worked total to numbers (e.g. 6.5 instead of 6:30).
I had been using the following formula to calculate hours worked in time (where B is the out time and A is the in-time):
=if(isblank(B1),"", MINUS (B1,A1))
For calculating hours worked expressed in numbers, I have been trying to use the following formula:
=(IF(A1 <= B1, 0, 1)+B1 - A1) * 24
Now, this formula works when inputted into C1, but I'd like C1 to read as blank ("") until a value is inputted into B1, because otherwise it will show a value once I put something into A1.
Can anyone lend some insight?
You should be able to check that there are three values with COUNT(A1:C1).
=if(COUNT(A1:C1)<3, "", (IF(C1 <= B1, 0, 1)+B1 - A1) * 24)

I'm succesfully using the formula provided here in an answer here: Get date from week number in Google Sheets
So, I have:
=DATE(2023,1,1)-WEEKDAY(DATE(2023,1,1),3)+7*(WEEKDAY(DATE(2023,1,1),3)>3)+7*(C2-1)
Where C2 is a cell with the week number, and I'm getting the expected result 02/01/2023.
What do I need to change to get the result of 08/01/2023? - the last date of the week?
Thank you again for all of your help!
Part of my problem is probably that I can't work out what the bold parts refer to/mean/do:
=DATE(2023,1,1)-WEEKDAY(DATE(2023,1,1),3)+7*(WEEKDAY(DATE(2023,1,1),3)>3)+7*(C2-1)
To get a date that is 6 days later than the formula result, add 6 to that result, like this:
=6 + date(2023, 1, 1) - weekday(date(2023, 1, 1), 3) + 7 * (weekday(date(2023, 1, 1), 3) > 3) + 7 * (C2 - 1)
See Working with date and time values in Google Sheets.
Your formula looks unnecessarily complex. It is likely that there are much easier ways to get those dates, depending on your requirements.
you can try:
=LAMBDA(aix,MAX(FILTER(aix,WEEKNUM(aix,21)=C2)))(SEQUENCE(365,1,DATE(2023,1,1),1))
I'm trying to have a calendar display a series of activities based on their type, time and frequency for an easier visualization of data.
So far, I have managed to create a formula that correctly fetches the data that I have on a repository and displays it on the calendar. However, I'm not sure how I can have it account for entries that have a frequency (happening every x days).
For an easier understanding here are screenshots of both the table and the schedule
And here's the current formula I'm using to display the event/activity title in each day/hour at C12 for example:
=IFERROR(
INDEX(Repository!$K:$K,
MATCH(
C$10,
IF(
(Repository!$G:$G=$G$8)*
(Repository!$H:$H=$K$8)*
(Repository!$N:$N>=$B12)*
(Repository!$N:$N<$B12+TIME(2,0,0)),
Repository!$D:$D),
0)
),
"")
What I'm currently missing on the formula is a way to correctly account for the start/end date as well as frequency and understand if each day falls under the specified criteria. In case the frequency is 0 then I'd like to have it discard the end date at all (in case for some reason I end up forgetting to set the end date).
I have tried to work with the formula provided to account for the frequency but nothing that I tried seemed to work.
Minimal example
Entry on the table with a 2 days frequency:
Expected result on the schedule:
So basically, the formula on each cell should check for the start date, end date and frequency of the activity and identify if the specific date on the schedule falls under the specified timeframe.
In this minimal example, the activity starts on the 7th December and repeats every 2 days until the 14th of December.

I have tried to build the formula in multiple ways but I can't seem to make it count for the time frequency so that cells recognize this and display the activity in any other dates besides the initial one.
delete all your formulae and use this in C6:
=INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(TEXT(C4:P4+B6:B14, "e-m-d-h-m")&G$2&K$2, SPLIT(FLATTEN(MAP(
Repository!D$4:D, Repository!O$4:O, Repository!P$4:P, Repository!N$4:N,
Repository!G$4:G, Repository!H$4:H, Repository!K$4:K, LAMBDA(d, o, p, n, g, h, k,
IF(DAYS(o, d)>=SEQUENCE(1, MAX(DAYS(o, d)), 0, p), TEXT(d+SEQUENCE(1,
MAX(DAYS(o, d)), 0, p)+IF(ISODD(HOUR(n)), (HOUR(n)*"1:00")-"1:00", HOUR(n)*"1:00"),
"e-m-d-h-m")&g&h&"×"&k, )))), "×"), 2, )))
then copy C6 and paste in C18, C30, etc.
This may simply be a convoluted duplicate of an existing question, and I have been able to find one or two issues that match what I'm seeing here, but I am very curious to see if the cause is just user error on my part or if this is something I am just not aware of.
I have a worksheet titled Sheet1 with 999 rows. On this sheet in cells A3, B3, and C3 down are Year values (2021), Month numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.), and Quarter (Q1, Q2, etc.). In cell D, I have the following long but simple formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C2&" "&A2&")!$C$3:$C$999"))=B2)*(YEAR(INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C2&" "&A2&")!$C$3:$C$999"))=A2)*(INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C2&" "&A2&")!$E$3:$E$999")))
What this formula does is sum the monetary values from sheets with variable names by month (INDIRECT is used to refer to sheets with the name "TestSheet (x y)", where x is the Quarter value and y is the year (ie: "TestSheet (Q1 2021)").
This formula functions as intended, and correctly sums the values on the variable sheet names when those sheets exist. The issue I'm running into is that it seems to take a length of time for Sheets to identify that a sheet exists, even when "On change and every minute" is selected under the Calculation tab under Spreadsheet Settings. From testing on a fresh workbook in which this formula is the only one present and there are no other formulas present that could be slowing down the recalculation, the cell values do not appear to update at all even an hour after the relevant cells have been updated with data.
Is there any indication based on what I have so far that stands out as a possible cause? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
try:
=INDEX(SUMIF(TEXT(
INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C5&" "&A5&")!C2:C"), "yyyyM"), A5&B5,
INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C5&" "&A5&")!E2:E")))
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)
I'd like to insert time windows repeatedly in a column, like this:
10:00-10:20
10:20-10:40
10:40-11:00
11:00-11:20
11:20-11:40
12:00-12:20
Is there a way to achieve this?
Put data in cells:
B1 = 10:00 (start time)
B2 = 12:20 (end time)
B3 = 20 (interval in minutes)
Here's single arrayFormula, that will generate your column:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(B1+B3*1/24/60*(row(OFFSET(B8,,,(B2-B1)/(B3*1/24/60)))-row(B7)-1),"HH:MM")&"-"&TEXT(B1+B3*1/24/60*(row(OFFSET(B8,,,(B2-B1)/(B3*1/24/60)))-row(B7)),"HH:MM"))
Explanations
Look at sample file to explore more about this formula. Pay attention on some details:
any kind of logical sequence could be done with help of series 1,2,3... Formula like =ARRAYFORMULA(row(OFFSET(B8,,,7))-row(B7)) gives us column from 1 to 7.
Time treated like numbers in sheets: 1 day is 1, 1 hour is 1/24, 1 minute is 1/24/60 and so on
Time can't be properly converted into text as it's number. So you have to use text(time, "HH:MM") formula to convert time into text.
This will repeat your time window. The formula assumes the time range is in A2:A6.
The 3 in the formula is the number of repeats (change to you need). You might want
to consider placing A2:A6 on another sheet and referencing it in the formula.
=TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(JOIN(",", ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(transpose(rept(join(",",A2:A6)&",",3)),",")&",")), ","))
