I'm looking to return a match on an array of data, depending on what the current date is.
Sheet located here for reference: (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jHw8y8AObnvJEW3YiSb_kGXZFfxHW96UjfFh_6NVaXQ/edit?usp=sharing)
Essentially I have 10 workers that can possibly appear on the roster, which will vary day to day. I'd like to link this to a google script which will automatically trigger an email to the workers that will be in the office the next day.
My issue is that I'm not sure how to create a dynamic reference so that my index-match formula knows which column to refer to. I'd like the formula to detect what tomorrow's date is, and as such return a 1 or 0 for who is rostered for the day. I've tried several Index-match-match methods but with no avail, as I have a broad range of potential columns to return data from.
Hope this makes sense, any help would be much appreciated.
My original data looks like this:
Original Data
I'm looking for a way for my query to return information ONLY for the latest date associated with each Test. For that date, I am looking to get the count number of customers and the $ Paid total. What's complicating my effort is the fact that multiple people could take the Test at a given date and across dates.
The ideal results should look like something like this:
Ideal Results
I am getting information submitted into this table via Google Forms in real-time hence row range will be dynamic & need a solution that can give me the info I am looking for at any given time.
Here is the one that came the closest for me (although still far off as it does not show the Count or the Total $):
=ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(QUERY({ROW(A2:A),SORT(A2:D)}, "SELECT MAX(Col1) WHERE Col3 IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Col3 LABEL MAX(Col1)''",0),{ROW(A2:A), SORT(A2:D)},{2,3,4,5},0))

I would really appreciate any insights or help from anybody.
Possible solution (based on your document)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tADqNS4YtdDrMjToCNy2auKB_eNuMdMEA4ahmYJi_3M/edit?usp=sharing
Details:
Lastest date for a test could be found using FILTER MAX functions
Count for a test (at lastest date) could be found using COUNTIFS
Sum for a test (at lastest date) could be found using SUMIFS
I'd like to know if it is possible to query a past exchange rate on Google Spreadsheet.
For example; using formula =GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:USDEUR") will return the USD/EUR rate at this present moment. How can you retrieve a historic rate?
In order to retrieve the historical rate, you have to use the following formula:
=GoogleFinance("eurusd","price",today()-1,today())
where today()-1, today() is the desired time interval, which can be explicitly defined as the static pair of dates, or implicitly, as the dynamically calculated values, like in the example above. This expression returns a two-column array of the dates and close values. It is important to care about the suitable cell format (date/number), otherwise your data will be broken.
If you want to get the pure row with the date and currency exchange rate without column headers, wrap your formula with the INDEX() function:
=INDEX(GoogleFinance("eurusd","price",today()-1,today()),2,)
To retrieve the exchange rate value only, define the column number parameter:
=INDEX(GoogleFinance("eurusd","price",today()-1,today()),2,2)
To get today's currency exchange rates in Google Docs/Spreadsheet from Google Finance:
=GoogleFinance("eurusd","price",today())
A shorter way to get today's rates:
=GoogleFinance("currency:usdeur")
P.S. There is also the way to get live currency exchange rate in Microsoft Excel.
Try,
=GoogleFinance("usdeur","price",date(2013,12,1),date(2013,12,16))
Make sure that the dates are as per your spreadsheet settings.
Edit as comment, changed date for capturing single day data:-
Only with headers:
=INDEX(GoogleFinance("usdeur","price",date(2013,12,3),date(2013,12,4)),,2)
without headers:
=FILTER(INDEX(GoogleFinance("usdeur","price",date(2013,12,3),date(2013,12,4)),,2),INDEX(GoogleFinance("usdeur","price",date(2013,12,3),date(2013,12,4)),,2)<>"Close")
The instructions for all related to googlefinance are in here: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093281
Remember the actual Google Spreadsheets Formulas use semicolon (;) instead of comma (,).
Once made the replacement on some examples would look like this:
For a 30 day INDEX of USD vs EUR you should use (note that in the case of currencies they go together in the same first variable):
=INDEX(GoogleFinance(USDEUR;"price";today()-30;today());2;2)
TIP: You can get the graph over the entire size of the cell by simply changing INDEX for SPARKLINE, like this:
=SPARKLINE(GoogleFinance(USDEUR;"price";today()-30;today());2;2)
Vasim's answer is excellent, however notice if you want the exchange date on that day only, you can omit the range and just specify the day such as the following
=FILTER(INDEX(GoogleFinance("usdeur","price",today()),,2),INDEX(GoogleFinance("usdeur","price",today()),,2)<>"Close")
You may notice that GOOGLEFINANCE will return N/A for some dates, this is because the date is a day off (usually a weekend), what you can do is to get the last working from the specified date, e.g. Jun 21st 2015 is Sunday, so you should request the rate for Jun 19th (Friday), you can do this via WORKDAY function as was suggested here:
WORKDAY("6/21/2015"+1,-1)
So, the resulting formula will look something like that:
INDEX(GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:USDRUB", "price", WORKDAY("6/21/2015"+1,-1),1),2,2)
Additionally, you want to get the exchange rates for future dates you can additionally check if the date is in the future and if so, just use the today date:
WORKDAY(IF("6/21/2099">TODAY(),TODAY(),"6/21/2099")+1,-1)
For bigger spreadsheets, Google Sheets limitations usually will show randomly the following error:
Error Function INDEX parameter 2 value is 2. Valid values are between
0 and 1 inclusive.
Even modifying Index() and GoogleFinance() following the expected parameters GOOGLEFINANCE(ticker, [attribute], [start_date], [end_date|num_days], [interval]) the error will continue.
A workaround is to copy smaller parts into new spreadsheets but often it will fail.
As an alternative, I used ImportXML as web scraper for x-rates historical currency exchange data.
=index(IMPORTXML("https://www.x-rates.com/historical/?from="&N2&"&amount="&K2&"&date="&YEAR(B2)&"-"&TEXT(B2,"mm")&"-"&TEXT(B2,"dd")&"","//td[#class='rtRates']"),1)
I'm assuming column B are dates, K is for amounts and N for currencies.
Randomly it also will fail for a 2000+ rows spreadsheet but overall for my requirement, it worked too much better than GoogleFinance()

Other option is using the CurrencyConverter function from this Google Sheets add-on.
It is fast and and has simple syntax. For example,
=CurrencyConverter(100, "USD", "EUR", "2/28/2020")
returns 91.09957183
I am trying to figure out the way to pull all the items that were on my plate between certain dates. Is this possible? Could you please help me to figure out how to write a query for that? Thanks.
The best that I know how to do is to set 'Assigned To' Was Ever #Me, then manually scan the list of work items returned (setting other fields as necessary to filter the results). In the UI, at least, there isn't a way to query on historical data.
You can do this via query window as well, below is my query that i use to see what have i been working on in the past two sprints.
This will give you any tickets you worked on regardless of who they are currently assigned to (system test / uat or whatever).
You can add more clauses and have Changed Date > xxx AND ChangedDate < xxx to find what you are looking for in any given dates.
