Help w/complex Due Date Function
I'm hoping someone can help me write a function, please, please, please.
What I have: I have a spreadsheet ($surveys) with one record per line. The columns a A1:Name (type:text) A2:Survey1 (type:date) A3:Survey2 (type:date) A4:Survey3 (type:date) What I need: I need a function that tells me when a survey is due and when it's past due for each person. Names and dates will be entered by hand. The function needs to function like this: If there is no date in Survey1, disregard that row. If there is a date in Survey1, but not it Survey2 or 3, use Survey1's date. If there is a date in Survey2, but not Survey3, use Survey2's date. And if there is a date in Survey3, use that date. (In other words, use the latest date.) The date needs to be compared to Today's Date and the words "Survey Due" or "Survey Past Due" needs to be returned. "Survey Due" needs to be returned if after 70 days and "Suvey Past Due" if after 90 days. I then need this list to be truncated (all the blank cells removed) and displayed with corrolating names on another speadsheet ($surveys_due). What I'm after: Surveys need to be completed every 90 days for each person. What this function should do is give me a list of people who are due or past due to take the survey no matter if it's the first, second, or third survey they've taken. It's a "tickler" to let me know when to get folks in to take their next survey and when they're past due. I'm not interested in those who haven't done a survey. (I realize that this does not give me consecutive dates for each next survey, every 90 days down the line. The "next" survey should come after 90 days of the previous one; in other words I don't need them to be every 90 days consecutively from the first one, 90 days does need to pass between them no matter how long it's been between the previous 2 surveys.) Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks for your help in advance. - Dax |

Help w/complex Due Date Function
I should have added that ($surveys_due) should look like this:

Help w/complex Due Date Function
Yes that's right, and that function works but it displays Survey Past Due in
blank rows. I need to ignore those rows. I also need the A1:Name that corrolate with the returned functions. And lastly I need all the blank rows (the ones with no data in them, the ones that are ignored) removed so I don't have a list with a bunch of empty rows in it. Just a little more help please? - D.

I'm going to assume that your data in the $surveys sheet is in the form of:
A1:Name1 (type:text) A2:Survey1 (type:date) A3:Survey2 (type:date) A4:Survey3 (type:date) A5:<Blank Row A6:Name2 (type:text) A7:Survey1 (type:date) A8:Survey2 (type:date) A9:<No Date etc. and you want A1:Name1 (type:text) A2:Survey3 (type:date) A3:<Blank Row A4:Name2 (type:text) A5:Survey2 (type:date) etc. There may be more sophistocated way of doing this but try: on the $surveys Due sheet: A1: =IF('$surveys'!A1="","",'$surveys'!A1) A2: =IF(MAX('$surveys'!A2:A4)=0,"",IF(TODAY()MAX('$su rveys'!A2:A4)+90,"Survey Past Due",IF(TODAY()MAX('$surveys'!A2:A4)+70,"Survey Due",""))) A3: x A4: y A5: z Yes A3:A5 have the letters x,y, & z Highlight A1:A5 and copy down as far as you have data, (or could possibly have in the future), in the $surveys sheet. Finally run this macro: Sub DeleteThem() Dim rLast As Long Dim x As Long If ActiveSheet.Name < "$surveys due" Then _ Exit Sub Application.ScreenUpdating = False rLast = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row For x = rLast To 1 Step -1 If Cells(x, 1).Value = "x" Or _ Cells(x, 1).Value = "y" Then Cells(x, 1).EntireRow.Delete End If Next x rLast = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row For x = rLast To 1 Step -1 If Cells(x, 1).Value = "z" Then Cells(x, 1).ClearContents End If Next x Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Dax Arroway" wrote in message ...

Help w/complex Due Date Function
I forgot to add a comment in the code to say that if the sheet name is not
$surveys due the change the name in the code to the real sheet name. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Sandy Mann" wrote in message ...
