Formula HELP !!
 

Hello,

Dates (by themselves) are just numbers (to Excel). In their naked form
without formatting, you see the date 'number'. When you want to display them,
use something like Format(someValue, "dd-mm-yyyy"). (You can look up
specifically desired formats on the FormatCells menu option).

Think what you might want below (just guessing), have something like the
following

Public startDate as Date ' make this a global variable

in the Workbook_Open event code, say something like startDate = "1 Jan 2006"
(or whatever starting date you like)

then write your function to do :

Public Function myOffset(InputCell as Range)
Dim difference as Integer
difference = startDate - InputCell
myOffset = difference / 7

End Function

Then have your cell = myOffset(B2) & " weeks"

Hope this helps,
Chad

No Problem

1) Press Alt + F11 (to get to the VBA editor)

You'll see an outline of all the worksheets in your project.

2) Double click on ThisWorkbook ...

You'll see a code window open up, click on the pulldown for Events and
click on Workbook_Open

in the body of the sub, just put the statement
startDate = "1 Jan 2006" (or whatever start date you want)

3) then insert a module in the window. (for inserting new code)

Public startDate as Date

Public Function myOffset(InputCell as Range)
Dim difference as Integer
difference = startDate - InputCell
myOffset = difference / 7

End Function

Then. at the Cell you want to associate with the function call,
click on the cell and press =myOffset(B2) where B2 is the cell you want
to modify.

It will be a compile error until you insert a module ...
Then at the top of the module, put in the statements:

Public startDate as Date ' This will make startDate a global variable
Public Function myOffset(TargetCell as Range)

myOffset = TargetCell.Value - startDate

End Function

(try cutting and pasting this code to the module...)

then, go back to the spreadsheet and click on any cell.

hit the '=' sign, and type in: myOffset(
Then left-click the cell you want to reference (it should contain a date
value)
then press ')' & " weeks"

So, the formula for the cell in question should look something
like...

= myOffset(B2) & " weeks"

hope this helps,
Chad

Hi there. I'm thinking that you want a formula for your worksheet rather
than something in VBA. Is that correct? I need to know what you have
listed above each column for column A - G.

Let's say that your dates are in column 1.

Let's also say that Bill's information is in column 3 (specifically cells
B3:H3)

Try this formula:

=INT(TODAY()-INDEX($1:$1,1,MATCH("x",A3:H3)))/7
