Get newest date in Sheet - google-sheets-formula

i have a sheet with two tabs. In the first tab, i can select a site and i have a list of types. I have a second tab with many datas from each type (date, year, month week, and site attached to a type).
I would like in the first tab write a formula to automatically get the newest date of the type depending to the selected site.
I'm not good with formulas but i tried to write one, this one =IF((AND(C1=DATA!F:F),(B3=DATA!E:E)),LARGE(DATA!A:A),"") but i don't have result.
Anyone can help me with my problem please ? This is the link of my Sheet.

=INDEX(SORT(FILTER( DATA!A:A; DATA!F:F = $C$1; DATA!E:E = $B3); 1; FALSE);1)
=INDEX(SORT(FILTER( DATA!A:A; DATA!F:F = $C$1; DATA!E:E = $B4); 1; FALSE);1)
INDEX(array, [row])
Index gets the nth value in an array, when you pass in the value 1, it will get the top most value.
I created a sorted array by using the FILTER function. and the SORT function. I sorted it descending and only returned the dates in the FILTER function.

Google Sheets add a Permanent timestamp

I am setting up a sheet where a person will be able to check a checkbox, in different times, depending on the progress of a task. So, there are 5 checkboxes per row, for a number of different tasks.
Now, the idea is that, when you check one of those checkboxes, a message builds up in the few next cells coming after. So, the message is built in 3 cells. The first cell is just text, the second one is the date, and the third one is time. Also, those cells have 5 paragraphs each (one per checkbox).
The problem comes when I try to make that timestamp stay as it was when it was entered. As it is right now, the time changes every time I update any part of the Google Sheet.
I set u my formulas as follows:
For the text message:
=IF($C4=TRUE,"Insert text 1 here","")&CHAR(10)&IF($E4=TRUE, "Insert text here","")&CHAR(10)&IF($G4=TRUE, "Insert text 3 here","")&CHAR(10)&IF($I4=TRUE, "Insert text 4 here,"")&CHAR(10)&IF($K4=TRUE, "Insert text 5 here","")
For the date:
=IF($C4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"mmm dd yyyy")),"")&CHAR(10)&IF($E4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"mmm dd yyyy")),"")&CHAR(10)&IF($G4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"mmm dd yyyy")),"")&CHAR(10)&IF($I4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"mmm dd yyyy")),"")&CHAR(10)&IF($K4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"mmm dd yyyy")),"")
And for the time:
=IF($C4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"HH:mm")),"")&CHAR(10)&IF($E4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"HH:mm")),"")&CHAR(10)&IF($G4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"HH:mm")),"")&CHAR(10)&IF($I4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"HH:mm")),"")&CHAR(10)&IF($K4=TRUE,(TEXT(NOW(),"HH:mm")),"")
And it all looks like this:
I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could help me get this to work so that date and time are inserted after checking those boxes and they don´t change again
Notice that your struggle with the continuous changing date time. I had the same struggle as yours over the year, and I found a solution that works for my case nicely. But it needs to be a little more "dirty work" with Apps Script
Some background for my case:
I have multiple sheets in the spreadsheet to run and generate the
timestamp
I want to skip my first sheet without running to generate timestamp
in it
I want every edit, even if each value that I paste from Excel to
generate timestamp
I want the timestamp to be individual, each row have their own
timestamp precise to every second
I don't want a total refresh of the entire sheet timestamp when I am
editing any other row
I have a column that is a MUST FILL value to justify whether the
timestamp needs to be generated for that particular row
I want to specify my timestamp on a dedicated column only
function timestamp() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const totalSheet = ss.getSheets();
for (let a=1; a<totalSheet.length; a++) {
let sheet = ss.getSheets()[a];
let range = sheet.getDataRange();
let values = range.getValues();
function autoCount() {
let rowCount;
for (let i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
rowCount = i
if (values[i][0] === '') {
break;
}
}
return rowCount
}
rowNum = autoCount()
for(let j=1; j<rowNum+1; j++){
if (sheet.getRange(j+1,7).getValue() === '') {
sheet.getRange(j+1,7).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
}
}
}
}
Explanation
First, I made a const totalSheet with getSheets() and run it
with a for loop. That is to identify the total number of sheets
inside that spreadsheet. Take note, in here, I made let a=1;
supposed all JavaScript the same, starts with 0, value 1 is to
skip the first sheet and run on the second sheet onwards
then, you will notice a function let sheet = ss.getSheets()[a]
inside the loop. Take note, it is not supposed to use const if
your value inside the variable is constantly changing, so use
let instead will work fine.
then, you will see a function autoCount(). That is to make a for
loop to count the number of rows that have values edited in it. The
if (values[i][0] === '') is to navigate the script to search
through the entire sheet that has value, looking at the row i and
the column 0. Here, the 0 is indicating the first column of the
sheet, and the i is the row of the sheet. Yes, it works like a
json object with panda feeling.
then, you found the number of rows that are edited by running the
autoCount(). Give it a rowNum variable to contain the result.
then, pass that rowNum into a new for loop, and use if (sheeet.getRange(j+1,7).getValue() === '') to determine which row
has not been edited with timestamp. Take note, where the 7 here
indicating the 7th column of the sheet is the place that I want a
timestamp.
inside the for loop, is to setValue with date in a specified
format of ("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"). You are free to edit into any
style you like
ohya, do remember to deploy to activate the trigger with event type
as On Change. That is not limiting to edit, but for all kinds of
changes including paste.
Here's a screenshot on how it would look like:
Lastly, please take note on some of my backgrounds before deciding to or not to have the solution to work for your case. Cheers, and happy coding~!

Formula for searching a range and returning column headers

I've been working on, or at least trying to develop, a formula that goes through an array of cells, finds the max value and returns a cell that has the month that max value was found in.
Link to Google Sheet
The array I'm trying to search through is B14:M21. Once the max value is found in a column, I'd like to return a value from B13:M13. This return value (the month column where the value was found) is going to be displayed in cell H4.
This same concept would also need to be applied to finding the year the max value is found, just in terms of rows instead of columns. I've tried doing hlookup, vlookup, query, index/match, etc. and none of it has worked for this application.
try:
=FLATTEN(SPLIT(INDEX(SORT(SPLIT(
FLATTEN(B13:M13&"♦"&A14:A21&"♠"&B14:M21), "♠"), 2, 0), 1, 1), "♦"))

QTP UFT How to find a row number and column number? Angular JS

When I spy the table it shows just browser - Page - WebElement and also UI is developed in Angular JS.
I there any way to find row number and column number? By the way I am using UFT/QTP
From the source-code's image which you have attached, it is quite evident that the webElement corresponding to the rows have class = "ui-grid-row ng-scope". So, you can make use of descriptive programming. I assume that you already have added the object Browser(...).Page(...) to your OR.
Set rowDesc = Description.Create
rowDesc("Class Name").value = "WebElement"
rowDesc("Class").value = "ui-grid-row ng-scope"
Set objRows = Browser(...).Page(...).ChildObjects(rowDesc)
rowCount = objRows.Count 'This variable should now contain the total number of rows"
Now, this is just an idea which you can give a try. If it works for you, you can further enhance it to get the column count. If there is no way you can get the column count, then you can get the total cell count using the same method. In that case, you just need to change the value of property "class" to the one mentioned in the Object Spy Image("ui-grid-cell-contents ng-binding ng-scope"). Now you have Row Count and Cell Count. To get the column count, you can divide cell count by row count.(Again, this will give you correct answer ONLY IF there are same number of columns for each of tbe rows).

Errors when grouping by list in Power Query

I have a set of unique items (Index) to each of which are associated various elements of another set of items (in this case, dates).
In real life, if a date is associated with an index, an item associated with that index appeared in a file generated on that date. For combination of dates that actually occurs, I want to know which accounts were present.
let
Source = Table.FromRecords({
[Idx = 0, Dates = {#date(2016,1,1), #date(2016,1,2), #date(2016,1,3)}],
[Idx = 1, Dates = {#date(2016,2,1), #date(2016,2,2), #date(2016,2,3)}],
[Idx = 2, Dates = {#date(2016,1,1), #date(2016,1,2), #date(2016,1,3)}]},
type table [Idx = number, Dates = {date}]),
// Group by
Grouped = Table.Group(Source, {"Dates"}, {{"Idx", each List.Combine({[Idx]}), type {number}}}),
// Clicking on the item in the top left corner generates this code:
Navigation = Grouped{[Dates={...}]}[Dates],
// Which returns this error: "Expression.Error: Value was not specified"
// My own code to reference the same value returns {0,2} as expected.
CorrectValue = Grouped{0}[Idx],
// If I re-make the table as below the above error does not occur.
ReMakeTable = Table.FromColumns(Table.ToColumns(Grouped), Table.ColumnNames(Grouped))
in ReMakeTable
It seems that I can use the results of this in my later work even without the Re-make (I just can't preview cells correctly), but I'd like to know if what's going on that causes the error and the odd code at the Navigation step, and why it disappears after the ReMakeTable step.
This happens because when you double click an item, the auto-generated code uses value filter instead of row index that you are using to get the single row from the table. And since you have a list as a value, it should be used instead of {...}. Probably UI isn't capable to work with lists in such a situation, and it inserts {...}, and this is indeed an incorrect value.
Thus, this line of code should look like:
Navigate = Grouped{[Dates = {#date(2016,1,1), #date(2016,1,2), #date(2016,1,3)}]}[Idx],
Then it will use value filter.
This is a bug in the UI. The index the UI calculates is incorrect: it should be 0 instead of [Dates={...}]. ... is a placeholder value, and it generates the "Value was not specified" exception if it is not replaced.

SOQL - single row per each group

I have the following SOQL query to display List of ABCs in my Page block table.
Public List<ABC__c> getABC(){
List<ABC__c> ListABC = [Select WB1__c, WB2__c, WB3__c, Number, tentative__c, Actual__c, PrepTime__c, Forecast__c from ABC__c ORDER BY WB3__c];
return ListABC;
}
As you can see in the above image, WB3 has number of records for A, B and C. But I want to display only 1 record for each WB3 group based on Actual__c. Only latest Actual__c must be displayed for each WB3 Group.
i.e., Ideally I want to display only 3 rows(one each for A,B,C) in this example.
For this, I have used GROUPBY and displayed the result using AggregateResults. Here is the result.
I got the Latest Actual Date for each WB3 as shown above. But the Tentative date is not corresponding to it. The Tentative Date is also the MAX in the list.
Here is the code I used
public List<SiteMonitoringOverview> getSPM(){
AggregateResult[] AgR = [Select WB_3__c, MAX(Tentaive_Date__c) dtTentativeDate , MAX(Actual_Date__c) LatestCDate FROM Site_progress_Monitoring__c GROUP BY WBS_3__c];
if(AgR.size()>0){
for(AggregateResult SalesList : AgR){
CustSumList.add(new SiteMonitoringOverview(String.ValueOf(SalesList.ge​t('WB_3__c')), String.valueOf(SalesList.get('dtTentativeDate')), String.valueOF(SalesList.get('LatestCDate')) ));
}
}
return CustSumList;
}
I am forced to use MAX() for tentative date. I want the corresponding Tentative date of the MAX Actual Date. Not the Max Tentative Date.
For group A, the Tentative Date of Max Actual Date is 12/09/2012. But it is displaying the MAX tentative date: 27/02/2013. It should display 12/09/2012. This is because I am using MAX(Tentative_Date__c) in my code. Every column in the SOQL query must be either GROUPED or AGGREGATED. That's weird.
How do I get the required 3 rows in this example?
Any suggestions? Any different approach (looping within in groups)? how?
Just ran into this issue myself. The solution I came up with only works if you want the oldest or newest record from each grouping. Unfortunately it probably won't work in your case. I'll still leave this here incase it does happen to help someone searching for a solution to this issue.
AggregateResult[] groupedResults = [Select Max(Id), WBS_3__c FROM Site_progress_Monitoring__c GROUP BY WBS_3__c];
Calling MAX or MIN on the Id will let you get 1 record per group condition. You can then query other information. I my case I just need 1 record from each group and didn't really care which one it was.
