COMPLEX PROBLEM
I have four variables: ID (col HZ), Pick (col IA), Type of Visit (col
IB), and Current_Day (IC). ID is unique code and is repeated for every visit; Pick takes only the last visit and codes it as 1, else 0; Type of Visit picks its values from another variable that ranks the visit as 1, 2, 3...i and outputs either "N" or "R"; Curr_Day checks the value of the date of visit to between 21st of previous month and 20th of current month (e.g. March 21 to April 20, inclusive) and ouputs 0 or 1. Thus if I want to pick all visits during the reporting period I simply autofilter and select Curr_Day=1. I can further select single clients from "Pick". However, a client can make more than one visit a month. In my formula, only the first visit will be picked as new, the rest are revisits. HZ IA IB IC 3 1 N 0 8 1 N 1 17 0 N 0 17 0 R 0 17 1 R 1 18 0 N 1 18 1 R 1 formulae used IA "=IF($HZ2-$HZ3=0,0,1)" IB "=IF($EG2=1,"N",IF($EG2<1,"R",""))" where EG9 rank of visit (not among the 4 fields) IC "=IF(AND($DJ8$IR$2,$DJ8<$IR$3),1,0)" where DJ is date of visit and IR2 start date, IR3 is end date How can I create a formula that codes all visits as new so long as the first visit falls within the month of interest? Will this solve my problem, since at the end of day, I just want to analyse new visits and revisits and pick clients only once, regardless of the number of visits within the month. I would really appreciate any assistance on this. I have reached my limit of creativity. Cheers. |

COMPLEX PROBLEM
Could you set up a pivot table and using the top left box, select whether current period or not, and then put client code number as row headers, and in the middle use sum of client code number. I think this will tell you how many times each client has visited in the current month. -- robert111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ robert111's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31996 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=529174 |

COMPLEX PROBLEM
Thanks. The problem is not to recall the number of times a client has
visited. How can I code each visit as new so long as the first visit is within the month? |
