i would like to use the formula "now()" to establish a date in a document. is it possible to lock this date to the initial date? (so when the document is created the date won't change the next day)
View 2 RepliesI've written a Function which will count the number of files in a folder which the modified date equals a fixed date
For example, here, I want the file count which modified date = 01.01.2014
Code:
Function FileCountDate(Path As String, FileType As String) As Long
Dim strTemp As String
Dim lngCount As Long
Application.Volatile
strTemp = Dir(Path & FileType)
Do While strTemp ""
[Code] ......
However I got a #VALUE! error message with this formula:
=FileCountDate("C:Usersjohn.doeDesktopTEST","*")
In the TEST folder there are 4 pdf files so it should return the value of 4.
Im trying to get the date filtered from a fixed date until Today(), but Im struggling to incorp it into the vba code....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a date on the top left hand corner of my excel sheet. I want to add exactly one month to that date in a vertical list (without using micros)
Example:
1/4/2005
1/5/2005
1/6/2005
1/7/2005
1/8/2005
.
.
etc
PS: I tried adding 30 (or a similar number like 29). It works but not if I want a large list of dates, which is what I want.
First and foremost I would like to congragulate you on this wondeful piece of code in the below link...
The query was to get a future date excluding Fridays and Holidays...
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-work...rkingdays.html
I have a similar query and therefore I pasted this link...
I actually wanted to get a future date using a Dynamic two day off as my the offs keep on changing as well as incorporate Holidays and Leaves if any..
Now Holidays would be official Public Holidays and
Leaves would be taken by the employee..
The code needs to pick the Leaves + Holidays and different offs maybe even more than 2 offs...
I have a table of data (total 142 rows). Column contains dates, in the format dd-mmm-yyyy.
I tried to filter using DATE FILTERS->EQUALS and in the custom filter window, I chose EQUALS then picked a date from the date picker icon. The date I picked was 5/4/2009 (this is May 4, 2009, formatted automaticall by excel as m/d/yyyy).
When I clicked OK, nothing showed up despite the fact that there are 6 occurences of May 4, 2009 (formatted as dd-mmm-yyyy in the data table)
So my questions are:
1. Is this due to the formatting?
2. Is there a way to change the date format supplied by the date picker?
I am now trying to create a excel macro to auto populate all the dates with reference to a start date and end date. The catch is that only working days are required in the range. My reference cells (start and end date) are in Sheet 1 while the destination cell range are in Sheet 2. The reason for creating a macro instead of a function is that the intervals between the start date and end date changes frequently (annual, semi-annual and quarterly) Best case scenario would be a button which I can just press after i input the dates to generate the range of dates in another sheet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to workout how to take a known initial date a repeating frequency and work out the next due date from today.
Example
Initial Date :- 1st of January 2014
Frequency :- every 5 weeks
Current Date :- 9th of March 2014
Next Due date should be :-12th of March 2014 (if I worked it out correctly from my paper calendar)
I want to use a cell formula to do this for different initial dates and varying frequency periods (the frequency will always be whole weeks i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8,10)
I need to create formulas that reference a single date and output date ranges. The objective is to have a person input a Monday date in any given month and receive a four weeks out worth of dates and ranges. For example: In a lone cell, the person inputs 10/13/08. Automatically, the sheet produces the next full week range: October 19 – October 25 in a single cell and also produces a cell for each date. Example: Sunday 19, Monday 20, Tuesday 21, etc…. It should look like:
Monday Date:
10/13/08
October 19 – October 25
Sunday 19
Monday 20
Tuesday 21
Wednesday 22
Thursday 23
Friday 24
Saturday 25
and then repeat for three more weeks. I thought I had it figured out until the month changed. The dates continued in October instead of adding a month. This report will be ran weekly, so simply adding a +1MONTH to some cells will not benefit me as I’ll have to change the formula every week. I want the formula to compute the data without any manipulation over the next several years. The only change will be the Monday date.
I have data going in to a small table which has some empty rows as that data is not yet available... My problem is, I need to sort this table in date order but with the date nearest to today's date at the top...
The sort function puts oldest at the top or oldest at the bottom which is no good for what I need...
I use xl 2003.
i have messed up column A which has only dates and i have different date formats like 03/07/2013 and 07/03/2013 i need to have a fixed date for all in B like 03 July 2013
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm wanting to calculate then no of days between 2 dates. The first one is variable.
Date 1: (Contract start date) Either the date entered in a cell A1, or 01/04/2008 - whichever is later
Date 2: (Contract end date) Date entered in cell A2.
example 1:
Date 1 = 1/1/8
Date 2 = 31/12/8
In the above example i would want the calculation to work out the n o. of working days between 1/4/8 and 31/12/8
example 2:
Date 1 = 1/5/8
Date 2 = 31/12/8
In the above example i would want the calculation to work out the n o. of working days between 1/5/8 and 31/12/8
This will allow me to calculate the number of contract days in this financial year, even if date 1 was in last financial year.
way to get a formula result to freeze or remain unchanged AFTER a certain time?
I tried using a macro which runs when the file is opened and does a crude 'copy/paste values' operation and replaces the Formula results with their values, but its is not very 'nice'!
I need a table to change a pattern of values but not in the past, but still to remember what that value was....!
Is there any way to automatically lock in the date after you pull it up with the TODAY function? Or is there another function that will do what I'm trying to do?

How to protect or lock their spreadsheets after certain date.
My question is how to protect or lock workbooks before certain date?
Example:
I have individual woorkbooks for each week in a calendar year saved in one folder.
Is there any way that I can protect them from either being opened or if opened than not be able to save anything in them until one week before the calendar week they are designed for (or whatever date I wish to set)?

I'm a newbie to vba and at least know vba is the only way. And this need to be automated.
I have a workbook list of activities that I am hoping will visualise the scheduling of routine maintenance tasks in my engineering department. The date of the most recent check is entered in row 6 and the interval in row 5. Hence the number 7 denotes a weekly check. The conditional format is such that the reds indicate that a check needs to be carried out. If the check is done on the scheduled day then a "Y" is entered into the square. This will then turn the square green. If "Y" is entered on any other day then the square turns orange to indicate the check is done, if not on time. The red squares do not change colour unless a yes is entered. This is designed to show the history of checks and give us the opportunity to show compliance to routines. What I need to do is lock the rows that have passed the current date, to prevent unscupulous modification. Thus the macro would look down column A and if the date is less than today() would lock the row. I have truncated the file as much as I can. A nice to have would be the facility for an adminstrator to go in (perhaps password protected) to make changes if necessary.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to lock cells after today's date has passed so that no one can make changes to it after today's date has lapsed. This is for protective reasons so that people do not remove their names from reserving something after using it. Now the code should disallow locking after cell input entry when today's date hasn't passed so that changes can still be made by the user. I am trying to determine the code to do this but I have no idea as to how to do it.
Here's a scenario: I reserve something for Aprill 11, 2009. I input my name. Since it's April 9th, 2009, I am still able to make changes up and until April 11, 2009. After this date, the cell is locked and no changes can be made, except for the administrator.
I need an IF formula, that states if a date is more than a month after the date in the cell then it is timely and if it isn't then it is not timely. For example the date in A1 is 12/11/05, if the cell is A2 is 13/12/05 (or any date after that) then A3 should read Not Timely, if A2 is 12/12/05 (or any date before that, including a date before the date in A1) then A3 should read Timely. Is there any way to do this?? At the moment I am having to go through manually and put in either Timely or Not Timely.
