I have a particular saved filter that shows me all cases in a specific project and area that are active and assigned to humans (by excluding some users that don't correspond to real people but are instead used for unrelated project management operations.
It looks something like:
"All open cases in PROJECT that are active containing -assignedto:"Non-Human User 1" -assignedto:"Non-Human User 2"
I would like to amend this filter to show me the subset of these cases that have had no edits of any kind in the last two weeks. I have tried adding various flavors of the edited axis using relative time ranges as I've seen examples of in the FogBugz documentation, but I get unexpected results every time. In particular, -edited:"-2w.." or even the simpler -edited:"yesterday" shows me results where the Last Updated column says, maddeningly, "DD/MM/YYYY (Yesterday)."
(This is with FB 8, for what it's worth).
I was able to get this to work reasonably close to what I expected by adding a search axis term for edited:"..-2w" (where -2w means "two weeks ago" and could of course be changed to whatever window of time was relevant). What tripped me up is that I was trying to exclude things edited between two weeks ago and now using -edited and that didn't quite do what I expected.
Instead, my final query looks like it is grabbing things edited from the dawn of time until two weeks ago (further restricted by additional filters of course).

I admit this is a strange request. Essentially myself and another person who speaks Mandarin need to work on scheduling asynchronously through a spreadsheet. If either of us enters something in, in our respective sections, it should update the other person's section to match. So If I changed Order 1 on Day 1 from Apple to Butter, it should look at the translated text for Butter in Chinese and update the dropdown list entry for Order 1 on Day 1 from Apple to Butter
Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there's anyway to add formulas to dropdown lists. Any advice here?
I created a super simplified spreadsheet of what I'm looking for Spreadsheet
there is a GOOGLETRANSLATE formula:
also, you have DETECTLANGUAGE that outputs the language code:
both of them (DETECTLANGUAGE is able to work with vertical arrays only) are not supported under ARRAYFORMULA so you will need to drag them around. also, it's worth mentioning that formulae are always 1-directional so you can have a dropdown to be translated but that translated output can't be used directly as the input for back-translation creating a paradox. with a scripted solution, you may have more flexibility tho.
I'm building a spreadsheet that automatically gets a row added when I get an application on my form. Here is the link to the sheet. As you can see, the first tab is just a list of applications, with the location they've applied for, and the date. The second tab is a daily count for each location, which is eventually sent out as an email each night. I'd like to include weekly numbers, and maybe even an ongoing weekly comparison. e.g. # of apps today, this week (so far), last week, etc.
I'm no expert with this stuff and it's getting a bit over my head possibly. Any ideas on how to get this done smoothly?? Thanks a ton in advance!
Your problem (like many) is primarily a problem with the organization of your raw data.
On a new tab called MK.Help, I've put the following formula in cell A2:
=ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(Applications!A2:A&"|"&Applications!S2:S&"|"&FLOOR(Applications!S2:S-2,7)+2&"|"&Applications!B2:R),"|",0,0),"where Col4 is not null and Col2>="&I2))
Then I made a simple table on the right with some fairly straightforward COUNTIFS() that look like this:
=COUNTIFS($C:$C,H$2,$D:$D,$F3)
The layout of the data vertically is what's making the formulas relatively simple for the summary.
We're using TFS for our daily team stand ups which are more task driven vs development iterations. We'd like to be able to track how many times a target date changed & in what areas that's happening the most to see if we can pinpoint bottlnecks. I'm having a heck of a time figuring out a query that will give me these results. I tried querying "History Contains Words changed target date" (based off the image you'll see in the link below) but got no results. When I just say "history contains words date", it only gives me results where someone said the word "date" in a discussion field.
Any ideas?

It's an expected behavior. Comments entered into the Discussion area are queryable. Change history entries, such as which fields were changed, aren't queryable.

I'm using Google Sheets to calculate my goals for weight lifting. Different workouts are based on different percentages of my high score for each lift.
I had been calculating each day's plan with something like "=CEILING((0.8*A3/5), 1)*5" to represent 80% of whatever the hell was in A3, rounded to something divisible by five. This was not maintainable.
What I'm working on now is using the script editor to provide custom functions. "=FIVES('bench')" gives me my bench press progression for five reps.
That works great, except for when I change values. I put a named range on each of my max lifts so I could call getRangeByName get the value by name instead of by cell coordinates. But the functions I made don't get called again so I keep seeing stale values, even after refreshing the page.
I found another post suggesting that getRangeByName had a second arg which could be set to now() to refresh the cache now. Tried that and it looks like that was out of date. I haven't found any other info on a named range being cached.
How can I tell my script that it needs to re-run when a named range gets updated? Is there some sort of observer/listener/watcher in sheets? If not, I'm open to techniques - named ranges were just the first thing I bumped into for naming my variables.
Google's script caching was never going to allow that to work without shenanigans. The expectation is that foo('bar') will be deterministic, always returning the same thing. I'd been passing the named range's name, hoping I could use getRangeByName and using the name as a label.
Instead I'm just using the range as an arg and passing a second string as a label: foo(bar, "Bar label"). It's a little more verbose, but much less so than the stuff I was trying to trick the script server with. Don't fight the framework, folks.
We used JIRA on-demand to manage an Agile project. Sometimes a story may be preliminarily sized in story points, but is then re-sized before commitment. I would like a query which shows the history of each story's status and point value.
For example:
Story 99 history:
1/1/2014 -- Status = Open; Points = Null
1/15/2014 -- Status = Reviewed; Points = 5
2/15/2014 -- Status = Committed; Points = 8
My goal (and maybe there is another way to do this) is to see how often we change our story sizes.
Thanks.
I thought I had a solution for you in using the "changed" JQL query (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Advanced+Searching#AdvancedSearching-WAS), but unfortunately it looks like that is not supported currently in Jira. I received the following error from our hosted Jira instance:
History searches do not support the 'Story Points' field.
So as a user on demand query I don't think it is currently possible.
The only way I see of doing this would be to have a set day/time where you would run a query to get the current story points, export it as an excel file and then do it again after you review a set of stories and write some excel functions to show the change.
The larger question would be around your agile/scrum processes as to why estimated would change so frequently as to need tracking. If the team as a whole decides the points its ok if it doesn't match the reality once we start working on it. Or is this a case where it is updated on more than one occasion before its actually being worked on? If thats the case then I'd say that the story isn't well defined and need more information before it can be estimated?
Adding to Michael's answer, the daily monitoring for a given set of results to a query can be semi-automated using a JIRA filter subscription. You will still need to extract the issues from the results manually but at least in principle you can be sure not to miss any resizing that happens.
