I have a column of dates listed at the bottom of this post. I am looking to have a formula in a cell that gives me the earliest date from the column. I have tried Min() and Small() with no success. Is it perhaps the "AM" and "PM" that is throwing things off? A small example of the data:
11/21/2008 AM11/09/2008 AM11/09/2008 PM11/09/2008 PM11/10/2008 PM11/11/2008 AM11/11/2008 AM
and it should return 11/09/2008. Thanks in advance any and all.

There is a speadsheet at work with a column which has a range of dates (from 18/05/2003 - date) which information gets drawn from every Friday. The information needed from the column is pretty simple but lengthy to expalin. For example...

As you can the dates are in no order...and need to stay that way. The information needed every week is shown here...

I have got the formula for the number of enteries between each date but strugling with the earliest date within the dates. I can do it manually by auto filtering the column and looking for the date closest to the earliest date but this is long.
The dates change on a weekly basis...just to throw a spanner in the works.
I'm trying to pull out the earliest and latest dates associated with a text string in a workbook.
Min Max dates example.xlsx
i.e. in this example, I want one column to display the earliest date associated with DU 145, and the next column to display the latest.
From what I understand, I need an array formula to do this and have written the following, which works:
=MIN(IF($A$2:$A$6=A2,$B$2:$B$6)) (confirmed with CSE) - and the same for MAX.
Where I'm struggling is that DU 145 may be entered in the workbook as DU145, DU 145 or DU-145 and I need to take all of them into account. I tried:
=MIN(IF($A$2:$A$6="du*145",$B$2:$B$6))
As this works in a COUNTIF formula in the same sheet. But this just returns a date of 00/01/1900. I'm new to array formulae & haven't really worked them out yet. Is there a way to do this? I assume it's something to do with the way I'm entering text as removing the wildcard * makes no difference.
look at the attached file - it was a CSV file. i want to convert the column of dates to say Mar 14 2009 type date. but it only converts some of them. note some are on the left and some on the right.
i have 6 columns representing people B6:B500 C D E F G all the same in each row a date as worked will be entered for each person say from b6 to g6 2,6,1,3,5,4 in A1 i want to show the earliest date worked which is 1 then say 7 is entered into d7 i need A1 to show 2 as the next earliest and the same to happen as each date is entered i am using 2007 at work and 2003 at home.
I'm working through a large database on sheet 1 that has multiple transactions for each person, what i am trying to do is find the earliest date and the first amount that each person deposited money. The findings will go into a table on sheet 2
This is a dummy data of what i have: Sheet 1 - database....
What I understand is that balls are drawn in each dated lotto draw and the numbers of the balls thus drawn are entered into a spreadsheet against the actual date of the drawing - and so forth and so forth for each successive drawing.
Here is my version of the question:
If I want to look up the LAST date that a specific ball was drawn, the array formula that daddylonglegs provided works 100%, but when I replace the MAX in that formula with MIN (to get the earliest date??), it ALWAYS responds with 00/01/1900 with the cell formatted as a date, or simply 0 if it is formatted as a number.
I made sure that the ranges did not include empty cells and still it gives me that answer.
I attach the same workbook with daddylonglegs' formula in column D and my "tries" in column F.
We have multiple work orders per opportunity, and each work order has a date. I have a sheet of these work orders which shows the work order #, work order date, and opportunity date. What I want to do is add a column which reports the work order date if it is the earliest instance of a work order for the opportunity (said differently, the first work order for the opportunity). Is there a way to write a formula to report whether the date of the row is the earliest date for a given opportunity, all in the same table?
I need an excel function to return the earliest and latest date for a particular/unique ID.
For example: In my sample workbook, the earliest date for all the columns with ID = 1 should return 11/1/2001 and the latest date should be 12/2/2011. If all the dates for a particular ID are the same, it should just return that date. For example, for ID = 2, all dates are 5/5/2010 so the earliest and latest dates should equal 5/5/2010. The earliest and latest dates have to be for each unique ID.
I tried searching through the forums, but I don't exactly know how to word my question!
I have a workbook with two sheets: Meetings and MasterStatus
On the both sheets I have taskID for a specific task.
On the MasterStatus sheet, I want to use an array to look up the next meeting date for each taskID (Column C), referencing the Meetings sheet (Column E) to do so.
I have a date range, containing blanks and values. I need a function to show the earliest date that contains a non-blank value. The function should be robust enough that I can sort by date and still show the correct data.
I am having issues with a min if formula, even though i enter it as an array (ctrl +shift+enter), it only returns a zero.
The formula is supposed to return the earliest date from Raw data if the name of the company matches the one from the data validation ('Company lookup'!D3).
Dates are in column D and company name in column M
Using online examples I am usually capable to reconstruct whatever I need. However, it's the combination of things I need to do now, which has left me banging my head on the keyboard for days now
Here's the data I am working with:
Sheet 1:
Sheet 2:
And here's what I need to get done:
From sheet 1, select first ID entry from Column A.Find matching ID in Column A of sheet 2On match, find in Column B the earliest date belonging to the concerned IDCopy that earliest date next to the corressponding ID in Column B back on sheet 1Return to step 1 and repeat for next ID entry. Do until end of list (sheet1)
So the result should look as following on sheet 1:
The major issue I am having is the combination of step 3 and 5. Because it probably means something like moving through an array that's within an array through which one is moving. And I am just missing that bit of experience that allows me to make that thinking step. I just keep falling off if you know what I mean...
how to make a certain type of date automate. It's kind of hard to explain, but basically, I'd like to make it so that when I enter a date in one column, another column will automatically populate with the 1st of the next month. For example:
If I enter 4/26/2009 in the 1st column, column 2 will read: 5/1/2009 If I enter 1/19/2008 .................................................. 2/1/2008
Also, it's very important that if the FIRST date is already the first of the month, then the second column will read the same. For instance: If I enter 3/1/2009 in the first colum, the second column will ALSO read 3/1/2009.
I'm trying to create an excel worksheet as follows:
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4 Column5 Date Time In Time Out Hours Worked Pay 01/03/2000 01/04/2000 01/05/2000 . . 11/11/2008
I want to insert in the first column (Column1) dates starting from 01/01/2000 all the way up to today, 11/11/2008. So I would end up with a unique date on each row. To accomplish this manually would be a daunting task. I'm a newbie to excel and don't know how to use any in-built functions.
I'm having where basically I've got the below scenario on a spreadsheet:
Start Date - 14/03/2013 (Cell A2)
I want to look up this date against a 52 week structure to see where it is in our "working calendar year". I've got a table which has the following fields:
This table follows the same format for all 52 weeks.
Now in this example "Start Date" falls between the "Week Start" and "Week End" date so I want to output Week 1 in cell B2. However I could have a "Start Date" of 29/03/2013 that falls in week 3 of the working calendar.
I am unable to change the date format in a column of dates. The cells have values that look like the following: 4/29/2013 8:59:12 AM. I want to change these to YYYY-MM-DD format, but no matter what I try the format will not change.
I have 3 columns (Name, Pass Date, Fail Date) Each name will only have 1 date in either column B or C.
I want a formula that will say "if there is a date in the pass column (B) then this name is a pass, if there is a date in the Fail column (C) then this name is a Fail"
I am trying to do a macro that looks to see if the date is different from one cell to another going down in rows. I got it to work until the cell is empty then it says the date dont match but I just want it to stop the loop. so it should go down a list check to see if the date is the same all the way down the list, stopping if cell is blank, if not give a message box, if it is the same stop.
Is As follows
Dim rowNum As Integer, colNum As Integer, currCell As Range
rowNum = ActiveCell.Row colNum = ActiveCell.Column rowNum = rowNum + 1 'get first cell Set currCell = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3) 'loop while cell not empty Do Until currCell.Value = " " If currCell.Value = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3) Then If currCell.Value = "" Then End If
I have a column with dates and times, and an associated column with data for all the dates and times. I want to add every hour of every day to the date/time column, but want the data associated with the times to stay in the row next to the correct time. How would I do this? In the attached file, i want to make coulmns A and B look like Coulnds E and F. I have hundreds (if not thousands) of rows, so i need a way to do this easily. Also, the times are not all evenly spaced or exactly on the hour. I dont need the times to be exactly on the hour or spaced out evenly, but i would like to have at least one time from every hour.
We have arrival dates and departure dates for guests and would like to figure out the number of meals needed on a particular date.
Named ranges: NumGuests _ArrivalDate _DepartureDate _CheckInTime _CheckOutTime Need number of breakfasts Number of Lunches Number of Dinners for a given day of the week.
So if a guest is here say Jan 25 arriving after 9am, staying 2 nights they will have Lunch and Dinner on the 25th, BLD on the 26th and BL on the 27th. Since by default most arrive after 9 (miss breakfast), we can eliminate the checkin time for the breakfast calc and make the first one for the next day.
There might be other guests staying through that time period. The ******* would like to know how many meals they will need to prepare for the week.
