Using Text And TODAY Function

Oct 22, 2008

In a single cell, I want to say "Report Complete as of" and then the current date. Is there a way to use & the TODAY function that will return TODAY as a date in conjunction with the text? I keep getting "Report Complete as of 39743" instead of "Report Complete as of 10/22/08", for example, and I can't seem to convert the numbers to a date.

TODAY() Function To Text

Jan 2, 2009

I need to find a way to take the TODAY() function and and split the individual digits out and recombine them to a text cell, i have tried using the MID function but it returns the serial rather than the actual number, e.g

today() 02/01/2009 needs to be shown as 020108 (this needs to be text rather than a number) as it is included within an INDIRECT formula.

Concatenate TODAY() Function

Feb 23, 2010

I want a report header to be similar to: REPORT AS OF 2/23/10. If I use the TODAY() function by itself, I get the date; 2/23/10. But when I concatenate it with the text "REPORT AS OF " & TODAY()" I get REPORT AS OF 40232". How do I preserve the date format when I concatenate it with text?

Freezing Today() Function

Mar 13, 2008

I am using Row 3 as a my template to insert a row for every new line of data i enter. I have a macro that copies the format and formula on this template row to insert at the end every time. The problem is on ROW 3 Cell F i am using a Today() function and everytime i insert a row the date is populated. But the next day the date automatically update.
In my search on this forum, i found this macro to supposedly lock in the dates, but i doesn't work.

VBA:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Range("F2:F10000"), Target) Is Nothing Then
storage = Target.Value
Target.Value = Format(storage, "dd/mm/yy")
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Today Function Works Strange

Aug 24, 2009

I have a column, where i want to calculate the difference between today and another date/or viceversa. The problem is, that in the first two cells, it calculates it well, but then, it shows #VALUE and when I press to see the "calculations steps" , it shows "29/09/2009"-40049. It turns the today function into a number. Why?

Formula To Count Days Since Using Today Function?

Aug 9, 2014

I am trying to create a formula that will count days since an incident. Column A will have each day of the year in it Column 2, I would like to have 0 in it for each day In the event of an incident, I will replace the 0 with a 1 - but this should only happen on the date, rather than be maintained daily, if you take my point. I would like it to return a value based on todays date, counting the days in between today, and the last 1 entered. It is to cover the whole year.

How To Make The Result Of A TODAY Function Static?

Mar 22, 2006

I have a problem with the today Function. It appears that it changes each day. But that isn't what I want! I'd like to have a funtion that puts the current Date in a field when Data is being added in the Row and then having this date static the next day. Here is what I had so far but I have no clue to make the date static:

=IF(C10>0;TODAY();IF(D10>0;TODAY();" "))

in this case it checks for information in field C10 and D10 and if there is information it will add a Date like 2006-03-22. But new day the field will change to 2006-03-23 and that is not what i want. I want it to stay the same when data is put in and the date is being presented.

Populate A Cell Once; Using TODAY() Inside Function.

Sep 23, 2009

I'm starting a project where Excel will be used as the main UI for defining a table of data. I'm expecting to define a "template" - xlt i guess - that users can open and save as an xls, without over-writing the template. Users will populate the spreadsheet with a lot of help from user defined functions. I'm just getting started and would like to populate a particular cell with the current date, but only the first time the sheet is opened. I tried checking whether a cell was empty before assigning a value to it, of course this meant recursion!

Also: It might be nice to use the Today() function inside a UDF, but TODAY isn't a member of Application.WorksheetFunction - is there no way to reference TODAY() from within a UDF?

TODAY() Function And Viewing Or Printing Original Date

Mar 29, 2009

I have a seemingly simple dilemna and wonder if there is a solution... I am not a PRO user, but can get by with my limited knowledge of excel.

My issue:

I create invoices for my business and in the invoice I use the "TODAY()" function to automatically insert the current day when I created the invoice.

Now when I need to go back and look at the old invoice or print it again it shows the CURRENT date, not the original date when it was saved. Is there a way to view and/or print out a file while keeping the original date intact or is there a better way to format a date to avoid this happening in the future.

I have since eliminated the function and just type in the date to avoid this but I have about 100 invoices that are saved that I may need to view their "original" dates on.

Excel 2010 :: Find Months And Days Between Today And Another Date That Is Result Of Function?

Apr 25, 2014

I'm in Excel 2010, and the cell with the date I want to work from is H22.

I'm trying to get the difference of the (date+12 months)-TODAY() to appear in months and days.

Here's the latest thing I tried (that doesn't work):

=IF(DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"y")>=1,DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"y")&" yrs, "&DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"ym")&" mths,
"&DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"md")&" days",IF(DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"ym")>=1,DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"ym")&" mths, "&DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"md")&" days",DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"md")&" days"))

I should also probably note that the date in H22 is the result of another function.

=EDATE(G22,12)

Convert Human-readable Text Strings Into Consistent Number Of Weeks From Today Date?

Dec 17, 2011

Is it possible to do the following with a formula in Excel...

I have a list of users with the dates they first logged into a system and the date they last logged in. I'm trying to group them together into segments so I can analyse them using a Pivot table and chart to see how often different groups are using the system, e.g. New customers in December, November, October, etc.

The trouble I am having is trying to convert the different human-readable text strings into a consistent number of weeks from today's date, e.g.

USER FIRST LOGGED IN LAST LOGGED IN
user 1 2 years 20 weeks 54 sec ago
user 2 44 min 7 sec 1 min 37 sec ago
user 3 49 weeks 2 days 17 min 3 sec ago
user 4 5 weeks 2 days 33 min 32 sec ago
user 5 38 min 9 sec 38 min 9 sec ago
user 6 5 weeks 3 days 1 hour 7 min ago
user 7 2 hours 17 min 2 hours 11 min ago
user 8 45 seconds ago 45 seconds ago

Is there a formula I can use to convert these human readble text strings into a number of weeks elapsed since today's date?

Using Text In An IF Function

Feb 23, 2009

I'm trying to use an IF function to evaluate a cell containing a text string. The string is two words with a space; "Turned ON" or "Turned OFF". The formula I'm using is "IF(D15=("Turned ON"),1,0)". It always returns 0 as the result. If I eliminate the space it works fine, but I would have thousands of entries to correct. Any thoughts?

IF Function Based Upon Text

Jul 21, 2009

The following is my existing formula (I admit it is probably very far from what it should be) but I'm looking a way to base the conditional part of a function based on the text within a cell. =IF(E4=OR("WordA","WordB"),(I4),(-1*I4))

There are four words that I use to classify the column "E" for sake of simplicity I will name them as "WordA" "WordB" "WordC" and "WordD". Those words serve as the identifier that I am trying to test. I.E. if "WordA" or "WordB" are present in column E, I want the end result (listed in column I) to be a positive number. If "WordC" or "WordD" are present in column E, I want the end result listed in column I to be a negative number. Currently I have a formula in column I, which is: =((H3-G3)/G3).

Both Column H and G have numerical values. Essentially the whole goal of my process is that if WordA or WordB show up in E, then I want my formula in I to remain "as-is". If however, WordC or WordD are present, I want the end result or formula in column I to be negative.

I am not tied down or restricted to using a particular formula, but just don't know how to set it up either way. Additionally, I plan to copy the formula down in terms of numbers... i.e. I5,I6,I7, etc. so when submitting any advice or if supplying a formula to paste.

Text To Columns Function

Jan 28, 2010

I have a list of items with a cell, however these are on seperate lines (using Alt+Ent) function. Example of entered text within the cell below:

_UN
_OD
_PN
_H

The beginning of each line will always start with an underscore ( _ ). The items within the list will either be 2 or 3 characters long (which includes the underscore).

The required output I'd like is (spaces used to indicate seperate cells):

_UN _OD _PN _H

I'm trying to use the 'Text to Column' function to solve my problem, however I haven't yet managed to get it to work. I've tried using the 'Fixed Width' function within this, however when I use this, it inserts an 'Enter' within the cell, which I don't want.

Does anyone else have a solution? Any help would be appreciated. Preferably I'd like this to be automatic using a formula, instead of me having to click the 'Text to Column' button each time.

(I'm using Excel 2007 if this makes any difference too)

Can You Use MAX Function On Numbers/text?

Dec 21, 2009

I am trying to use the "MAX" function to find the max temp on a particular day in a week from 7 separate sheets. The problem I have is one particular company autopopulates their temperature block with the temp and degree symbol: 46°F instead of just 46. The max function is thrown off it appears by the symbol and letter. Is there a way to get the max function to only look at the numbers? I'm also open to the option of autoconverting each temp to a number on the master sheet and letting the "MAX" function search through those if that's possible.
