Converting Month Numbers To Month Names For Pivots
Oct 24, 2011
My data sheet has a Month column, and those months are simply numbers one to twelve. They are formatted as plain old numbers. The data is coming from somewhere outside Excel.
How the numbers look in the data sheet doesn't matter. But I use this data to generate pivots, wherein the months are the columns. I want it to say Jan, Feb, etc. across the top of the pivot.
I realize that I could just loop through the raw data and convert the numbers to text. However, I want the pivot table to recognize this data as dates, so that I can do date-related stuff, such as the date grouping described on p. 85 of Jelen's Pivot Table Data Crunching book.
If I go into the raw data and try to convert the cells to the mmm format, they all convert to January.
I'm aware that formatting doesn't translate from raw data to pivot table anyhow. But it's not clear to me how I can use the date field grouping functions without somehow showing Excel that these are dates. Or is the pivot table smart enough to realize that just by the names, even if they are formatted as text?
I have this macro (below) which produces the the date on a file name when I update it every month. However, I would like it to show a different version of the date and in a different location.
At present it produces the following (example):
Ice_Cream_Report_Month_07-02
What I would like is:
Ice_Cream_Report_Month_Feb07 (or even Feb-07 would be fine)
I am running a performance spreadsheet/Dashboard using pivots from a data source, I have been requested for a dropdown (Month selector) which changes the pivot table, is this possible without the end user having to manually change it in the pivot?
The dropdown is to be placed on the main dashboard.
I m trying to write a formula for my financial model. If anyone can take a stab at a solution. I'm trying to write a formula that will equally distribute revenue either over the next 1 month, 2 month or 3 month period depending on size of the deal.
Details: Sales will fit in 1 of 3 categories. Less than 25k; between 25k & 100k; greater than 100k.
- if under $25K, recognize in next month (month N+ 1) - $25K-100K, recognize in two equal parts in months N + 1 and N + 2 - over $100K, recognize in three equal parts over 3 months N + 1, N + 2, N + 3 ...
- INT(bold) formula part, as those part I just copy paste it, add this and that, and it works - the reason why I add the "+1" on the very last part is because on my weekly salary payment, every Saturday salary will be paid on the week after.
(ex: 04/28/12 is supposed to be WEEK17, but then I added +1 so it became WEEK18. The main reason is 04/28 is Saturday and like I said I need every Saturday salary to be paid on the week after)
So, I've got the solution to convert my date inputs to Week#, but then I also need this week# to be converted into "MONTH" in a way that the last day/s of any months, but still in the same week of the new month, to be grouped together.
- For an example, 04/28/12 is supposed to be considered as April month, but I need that day to be on the May month.
I am trying to use a pivot table to analyse some data. The base contains a "day" date..ie 01/05/08, however I want the pivot table to summarise by the month..ie May 08. I have used the "=month(cellref) command, and it returns the correct month number. However when I try and format this to "mmm" or "mmm yr" to get a month I can then cut and paste, it always retunrs the month of JAN.
I'm looking for away to convert the value of cells with a numbers that represents the days of the month as 1 - 31 to the full date.
As if the cell value is 3 convert to 3/3/2014 and so on. I tried changing the cell format which does covert it to 1/3/1900, then I experimented with DATEDIF but didn't get anywhere.
I need to extract the month name from a cell. E.g In one cell I have a time stamp, which comes up in this formart.
Cell A1 is "5/30/2007 10:03:37 AM". Basically i want cell B2 to say "May". Please note this format is using the american date format where the order is month/date/year.
Is there a way to do this? Remember one cannot look at just the first digit as what happens for months 10 & above? At the moment I do this manually.
I will preface with what I am trying to do. I want to populate a combo box with months. The list will be populated based on a the date range in a dataset, so all 12 months may not bee populated in the combo box. I want the months to be listed in the combo box with their text names displayed(Jan, Feb... Dec) but have their numerical values when selected (1,2... 12). I'm sure there is a way to do this, but for the life of me I can't find how. My initial thought was to assign a value to a specific list index, i.e. assign the value of listindex 6 as "Jun", but I can't figure out the syntax to do that.
This doesn't work, but might give some insight into what I am trying to do
I've been trying to solve this problem all afternoon and evening but cannot think how to do it. I'm a basic (very) VBA user and the best I could come up with is below.
I have a sheet called Data. In column A I have names, and in column B I have dates (day, month and year).
What I am trying to do is to filter the unique names that occur during the selected month and year (day is irrelevant) and then count the number of times that name appears in the selected time period.
This is what I have so far, but it's not working at all!
Sub countNamesMonth()
Dim rangeEnd As Long Dim i, y, x Dim cell As Range
rangeEnd = Cells(Sheets("Data").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row y = 2 x = 2
Need to create year to date sales comparing 4 years month by month. Stacked chart (Excel 2010) works OK for the first three months but adding the fourth month changes the chart to 4 series with a monthly axis. To put it another way I need a vertical axis of years and a horizontal axis of $$$ with each months sales of each year stacked on its year.
I have created a time sheet in excel (see attached) that will be part of the larger workbook that will be linked with other sheets to auto fill in most fields. I am wondering if there is a way for an user to enter a Month and a Year at the top of the page and that in turn automatically fills in the days of the month by week.
So in attached sheet there are 5 boxes representing 5 weeks in a month. So if we used May 2014 as an example I would like to know if there is a way that once May 2014 is entered in up to top that. Excel fills in the dates in Week #1 with under Thursday showing 1st, under Friday showing 2nd as on for the entire month...
So as the month go by all user has to do is state the month and year and excel fills in the weekly dates for each day in month.
I am working in a spreadsheet that contains a bunch of data, it is not limited, and varies. It has some fiels such as: name, date of birth, address, and others. I am interested in creating a column with only the month digit of the date of birth for each row.
I have been working with some code, I am not quite sure how to continue. The following table would be a example that I have of the data, it has only to entry in the column of Date of Birth, but my data range will always vary. I want to get the month and past it in the next cell that is available in this case would be column c or 3... The worksheet name is REP.
VB:
Dim Cell As Range ' 1st cell with the posting date Set Cell = Range("A2")
This is for a report and on "Summary Worksheet" I want to post "Current Payment" totals IF the invoices from "Tab 3" equal the "month" in G6. Say the report is for January - if there are invoices on Tab 3 -worksheet with a January date I want to post all invoice amounts on Summary worksheet under current payment.
... in A1 a year (say 2012) ... in A2 a month, formatting as "MMM" (JAN, FEB, MAR etc.)
How to automatically get in column A (say from A3) all the dates of the month entered, formatting as "D/M/YYYY" (e.g. 1/1/2012, 2/1/2012/ 3/1/2012, etc.)?
I would like to create a monthly inventory, based on workdays (Monday - Friday)Myrna Larson has a formula that I would like to use with the workday function, but I don't know how to combine them.
I have log data in two columns: Column A: Date/time (at 30 minute intervals) Column B: Numeric data
On the last row of each month, I’m trying to perform a SumProduct on the two columns and display that result in column C.
The end of the range is determined by the month in the current row.
I’m having difficulty finding the beginning of the range, though. I need to account for both the normal dynamic calendar days & the fact that I may get data starting mid-day and mid-month.
I have this formula, but I’m not sure how to make the first array dynamic or if this is even correct approach.
I have a spreadsheet that has columns of monthly values for three years of financial data and where the values for the latest month are added to the last column. Months that have not been completed will have a zero value (e.g. Jul-09).
I have a spreadsheet for monthly supplies. In row 1 is Jan – Dec and in the row 2 below are empty cells where there will be a total for that month’s purchases. I want a conditional format formula to automatically bold and highlight the current month’s total and month name.
Also, when I enter February totals next month and that number is input into February’s total, I want that month and total to bold and highlight BUT I also want the previous month’s bold and highlight to vanish at the same time. Is this possible?
Is there a way to make the attached worksheet automatically shade out all the Saturdays & Sundays in any given month everytime you change the Month/Year cell at the top of the worksheet, as example? I've tried using the weekday/Weekend formula, but can't quite get it right.
In the workbook the sheet names are month names e.g. july,august,September etc and 1st of each month is to be entered in a cell in each the sheets. By some trial and error I wrote this macro
VB: Sub test() Dim j As Integer, monthnr As Long, monthname As String For j = 1 To Worksheets.Count
[Code]....
This worked in July sheet it is written as 7/1/2013 and in august sheet it is 8/1/2013 etc Then I shortened the macro like thlis
VB: Sub test() Dim dte As Date dte = "july" & "/1/2013" Range("A1") = dte End Sub
It worked. Even if I use shortened 3 letter form of month like "Jul" or "aug" then also it works
But if type on the spreadsheet itself ="july"/1/2013 It Gives value error.
Perhaps it works only in vba and not spreadsheet.
I accept nobody is going to use "july" & "/1/2013" instead of 7/1/2013 But this will be useful if sheet names are month names so that when we write the date we can use sheet names Mine excel 2007 and windows 7.
I'm trying to achieve is to write a macro that can search a column of dates then open new worksheets according to the months that are present in the column of dates. So, for example, if the column has dates ranging from January to June, I need the macro to open 6 new worksheets and label them January, February, March, April, May and June.
I am trying to add a dynamic date rang to the heading of a table. I can find the earliest and latest dates, and want to concatenate them in the heading...
January 1 2012 to January 31 2012
The day and year (and the other bits) are easy, but is there an easy way to convert 1 to January, without going through a vlookup.
I have a database that I export to excel every month. The export process is built in the database software (ACT!2009). The export opens Excel with the standard Book1.xls file name. All the field columns will be the same every month.
Goal: I need to format the spreadsheet to make it more readable and have been assigned the task of: 1 - Inserting a blank row between each row that contains data and filling in with color. 2 - Resizing the blank row to make it look like a "thick" border. 3 - Auto adjusting the columns to correct size. 4 - The last column contains comments and needs to be wrapped text. 5 - All of this needs to fit on 1 sheet (landscape).
Issues: 1 - Each month there will be a different number of rows. 2 - I know I can create a macro to do this but the macro that I would be creating will be in a saved template or spreadsheet. How could I use a that recorded macro in a spreadsheet that is called Book1.xls?
I have attached 2 spreadsheets. One called Book1.xls which is the raw data after exported and the 2nd spreadsheet called Formatted which is the end result that I am looking for.
I have a range of dates in c1:c285. I have a range of liters sold on those days in e1:e285. I want to total the liters sold per month for the 2 year period.
I was trying to use =SUM(IF(MONTH(c1:c285)=1,e1:e18,0))
However this just returns a "value" comment. I think even if this worked it would add the months together for the 2 years so both June figures would be returned as one figure.
I have a range of dates from 2003 to 2012. I formatted them to the 'Mar-01' option, but when I want to pivot on the month, Excel still reads them as the date - example 3/25/2008, 3/28/2008...and so my pivot table has multiple columns for all of the dates present in that month.
How do I truly format my dates so that excel reads them as the month only so that I can then pivot and show 12 columns (months) per year?
It's working fine if the year is 2014 but not if the year is different.
Conditions:
If the date is today then only the month should display else blank. The year should be ignore.
For example:
08/01/2000: January 01/01/2000: blank cell 08/01/2014: January 01/01/2014: blank cell
The date is in column 'p' in dd mm yyyy format. In short if the date is current date that is for today '8' then only the month should be display in the output.
