I have an excel sheet which has a column containing data only for the month of January 2014. The date format used is dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm All the data must be something like dd-01-2014. But, the excel sheet is interpeting like it has data for Feb, March, April, June etc...
The data in the sheet is getting miscalculated like it has data for rest of the month also.
Lets take an example of 01-02-2014 09:22:16. Actually its 2nd Jan 2014 but excel sheet misenterpretes as 1st February 2014. 01-04-2014 07:49:51 is being taken as 1st April 2014.
I have tried using text-to-columns - next next date. But still no luck.
There is a huge data which i wanted to work upon but due to this i am unable to.
I am using Excel 2007 and am having some trouble formatting a column for dates. I am setting up a template spreadsheet for the company I work for. The template spreadsheet has a sheet for entering the raw data and a sheet for summarizing it. I need new dates that are to be entered to be formatted correctly. I have set up a sample spreadsheet and inputted some sample data which looks like the following:
Date 06.11.13 07.11.13 08.11.13 05.10.13 06.09.13
Now if I format these cells as English(UK) dates with the "dd.mm.yy" format the data>sort cannot sort these dates from oldest to newest. I can correctly sort them by using "text to columns" however if i do this then it only format's the cells that currently have a date entered into them and not any new date entries.
So in summary: Format cells into a date format does not allow dates to be sorted using the data>sort tool. (I assume that as they cannot be sorted ,a formula that searches for cells with dates before a certain date will not work either) Text to columns does not allow new entries to be formatted in the same way as the cells that had data in them when the text to columns tool was used.
Is there a way to format blank cells so that they will recognize the data inputted as a date?
I have a spreadsheet where we track our contractor's Worker's Comp and General Liability insurance certificate expiration dates. I want the expiration date to highlight in red if it is expired and to highlight in orange if it will expire within 30 days or less.
I have attached a testing sheet similar to what I'm working on. The F column has the dates that need to highlight. I have MS Excel 2010.
I manage a number if individuals in the Army and as such, track their annual training requirements. Some requirements are semi-annual, annual, quadrennial, etc...
I have a spreadsheet to track the dates that the requirement was last completed (attached). I would like to use conditional formatting to turn dates that are within 30 days of being due (or blank) RED and dates that are between 31 days and 60 days of being due YELLOW.
How to get "some specific holidays" highlighted by doing conditional formatting in series of "date columns"?? I got to know how to get "sunday" highlighted...but again problem with specific holidays...
I am trying to use conditional formatting to calculate when the date in the top column gets within 60 days from expiring to turn yellow, 30 days from expiring to turn orange and when it expires to turn red. The dates that are listed from row 5 down are when the classes were taken. the expiration date will be based on row 3. Some are annual,3 years and 5 years, etc. I am using Excel 2010....
I use Google Spreadsheet to feed some data online. Later on I use Excel to import this data that it is hosted at Google to do a better handling (reports, charts, etc). However when I import the data from Google, the contents of 1 row is splitted on 4 in Excel.
Are there any way to keep the same formatting from the original ?
I am trying to figure-out how to set up conditional formatting of dates in a column (e.g. Date Submitted) and have these dates, and/or cell, change color as time progresses. I have Excel 2007.
For instance I have an application submitted on 11/20/2011 in a cell. I would like to have the date change color (Yellow) after 30 days have passed.
Then do the same except change to Red after 60 days have passed the date.
I searched the forums and did not find this particular problem. I of course may have missed it too...
I'm trying to make a simple chart, which maps the value of an investment fund over time. I wanted to use the new 'Table' feature within Excel 2010 to format and maintain the formulae within the Table, and the 'Header' for the table contains the date, which is not at regular intervals.
If I opt not to use the Table feature, I can create a line-chart with ease, and Excel recognises that the Dates are indeed dates and plots the graph correctly. The minute I convert over to a Table, the Date headers are no longer recognised as dates, and are instead plotted as if they were text, at regular intervals.
I've tried multiplying the Date Headers by 1 to force them back to true Dates, but this still does not work. I've also changed the setting on the horizontal axis to Date axis rather than automatic, but still no joy.
I am in strange situation where I have a data with Invoice Dates. These dates are in Text. However, when I convert it into reall excel dates. For some reason the dates do not come right. convert my text dates into excel real dates. I did a lot of google search and apply these three methods but all of these gave me strange result I was not expecting. These are the methods I used and the result of each method.
Method 1 : Using Text to Column Wizard (Excel 2007)
I highlighted invoice column and went into text to column wizard. I clikced on Date button, and selected MDY format. Strangely enough, my result was day, month and year i.e. DMY which does not seem right.
Then I press Control ~ on this data as shown in second view.
2nd Method - Using formula to convert text date to real dates When I used formula, I get the following result. As you can see, formula is converting text dates into different system dates than the first method.Further strange things is when I take these system dates i.e. 4283 and in 2007 excel format use "Short Date" the same system date gets converted into wrong year as shown in the second view.
I am trying to do conditional formatting to make a cell say something for 3 different scenarios. If K6 > G6, then I need M6 to say "Early." If K6 < G6, then I need M6 to say "Late." If K6 = G6, then I need M6 to say "On Time."
In Column Q, Please drive a formula that shows.... after 7 days of column (M)reminder III these words must appear '' File Pending'' in 'COLUMN Q' and at the same, Indicator column (O) will also become RED.
The scenario. Column A has a set (due) date all of the same. Column B is where review dates are typed in. Column C is where the status is, Due = still as yet to be done, but still yet to pass the Due date with no date in Column B (formatted yellow with the text "Due"). Complete = for when a date has been entered in Column B (formatted green with the text "Complete"). Urgent = the review date has passed and with no date in Column B (formatted red with the text "Urgent"). I have tried by editing previous similar formulas but to no avail
In A1 Downwards i have a list of dates for an entire year I have highlighted these cells and wish to conditional format them. I want every 3rd date from a specific date say in cell b1 to be highlighted up and down within the selected area. For example
Is there also a conditional format formula that i can use to highlight b1's day every month. in this example highlight the 5th of every month again going up and down within the selected dates.
Im trying to get conditional formatting to look at a completion date in cell A5 and getting cell D5 to change colour depending on the length of time to cell A5. What I would like is for D5 to change to red if there is 4 months or less to the completion date in A5. D5 to change to orange if there is still 4 - 8 months from the completion date A5. D5 to change to green if there is still 8 - 12 months from the completion date A5. Hopefully the formula will also work if cell D6 is looking at completion date in A6 with the same traffic light system and so on.
I am trying to combine 2 dates into the 1 cell separated by the word "TO:" So I have: =B2&" TO: "&C2 Which results in: 40211 TO: 40240 What I need is: 02/02/10 TO: 03/03/10
The dates are in different format with dots in between as shown above Also with respect to date which has already expired, no formatting needed but i need a formula in the next column stating "Expired"
If valid to date is within 90 days from today- RED If valid to date is within 365 days from today- YELLOW
I have a sheet where K5:K26 contains names of months. I would like to conditionally format that column so that any month that is less than TODAY appears red. So, if that column has a cell value of February, the cell would appear red since we are already in March. I would guess this involves a formula using TODAY, but I can't figure it out myself.
I know how to apply conditional formatting; I just lack the proper formula.
I have a list of dates that I want to flag as red if the date passes and the task is not complete.
So I would have 2 columns
Estimated completion date & Completion date.
If the completion date cell is null AND the Estimated completion date has passed then the Estimated completion date turns red (or a red block appears in a new column if that is easier!).
I have a large spreadsheet with dates. I want blank cells to be conditionally formatted to turn red and cells with dates older than 1 year to turn yellow. I have cell C1 set up as the current date (Today()) and the others reference the other cells with dates.
I'm having trouble comparing two lists of clients with vlookup. The problem seems to be that the dates are in two separate formats. I'm combining the information to create unique identifiers (=A1&B1&C1).
I have an excel spreadsheet that contains dates and times however it appears that some of the dates are in text format Is there a way i can format the data fist so they are all dates?
Column C has dates in... and I have formatting that turns the cells in Column G Red if the date in Column C is 14 days or more old.
my problem is that if a cell in Column C does not have a date in it, the corresponding cell in Column G still gets formatted and I want it to not turn red if there is no date in Column C.
I am trying to use conditional formatting and its not working for me.
If I put the date 1 Jan 2014 in the cell of E2 I need a conditional format that will turn the cell yellow when it is two month from being a year old, so on 1 Nov 2014 it should turn yellow. Then I need it to turn orange when it is one month away from being a year old, so Dec 1 2014 it turns orange. And then when it is over a year old it turns red, So 1 Jan 2015 the cell turns red.
The formatting I have now turns them yellow, orange, and red but at the wrong times, not sure how to fix that.
I want to enter dates in a column. How do I ensure that the user cannot enter an invalid date or entry that not a date such as text? Any invalid entries should automatically be Null.
We need to track the batteries if it is expired or not.Expiration is 3 months. once you received the battery, you need to put the date in the sheet (A1) and then the expiration will be automatically calculated in B1. another also, in B1, will change its color according to how may days left before the expiration date.
black color if the expiration is < 15 days red color if the expiration is 45 days white color if B1 is blank
I have a spreadsheet where I am tracking tasks. I would like to conditionally format the "Completed" cell red whenever the Due Date has passed to easily identify which tasks are outstangin. And I would like that to happen no matther what date someone opens the spreadsheet. (I think I need to use TODAY() here.) Then once the user enters the actual completed date, the cell would go back to white with black font. Below is a sample:
Due Date Completed 5/8/2006 5/8/2006 5/8/2006 5/8/2006 5/12/2006 8/30/2006
This seems like it would be easy to figure out, but I've spent days on it and am not thinking clearly any more.
I have a workbook (attached) which has two sheets called “Team List” & “Masterfile Data Dump”.
TEAM LIST This is the sheet that I want to populate when the data dump is a pasted into the sheet “Masterfile Data Dump”
MASTERFILE DATA DUMP This sheet is where my data dump will be pasted to, columns A to Q and column R is a formula to work out the FTE
Calculation The reason I want the list to auto populate is that it will change week on week and is a time consuming task keep updating it. I want to be able to type a Team Leaders Name into cell F2 and it populate the list of the agents in that persons team Cells F4:G18 (Name & Surname) along with there FTE (full time equivalent) in Cells I4:I18.
The problem I have is I have no idea how to calculate the FTE sum as the data dump can have one to five shift patterns (rows) for one agent (See my example on the “Master file Data Dump” Sheet of Joe Bloggs. /I have tried to use a VLOOKUP which I have used but this will only return the first value or first rows value of that agents name.
I want to be able to format a whole row with a particluar text colour when a date is entered into column A. I have managed this no problems using conditional formatting. The problem I am having is that I need to change that row's colour again if both colomn A's date is complete and a date is also entered into colomn B.
I have tried conditional formatting without success but I have the niggling feeling that I have read this it is not possible to use this method.
I'm having trouble putting the correct conditional formatting on a column of dates. Basically, in column 'A' I have a list of appointment dates. Column 'B' contains breach dates for a 10week target. And Column 'C' contains breach dates for an 18 week target. Looking something like this:......
I need to format column 'A' so that the cells will turn Amber if the appointment was after the 10 wk breach date and turn Red if it was after the 18 wk breach date.
