Refresh/recalculate sheet automatically

Hi. I have date based functions in my sheets. These are volatile and respond to the current date and time.

I've found that sheets need to be opened and saved before the data is recalculated for these functions. This is a problem. I need the data to be accurate.

I suspect I can add a column which refreshes hourly and inserts the date and time of the refresh and this will probably trigger a save and recalculation - however this seems like it should be unnecessary.

Before I try this out, is there a way of scheduling a refresh for all sheets in a workspace?

thanks

Ed

An COUNTIFS Statement is what you are looking for.<\/p>

I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>

  • Counting symbols in two columns

    I am trying to determine a formula that will count the number of "flags" in one column if there is not a symbol in the second column. In the example below, there is only one flag that I want counted. Basically, the green/red/yellow symbol would cancel out counting the red flag if that makes sense.

  • What happened to the Solution Panel icon?

    A week or so ago, I saw the new Solution Panel icon and found it so helpful. Last week, it was gone and I found a thread somewhere that said it should be back online 8/21. However, it's still not there and I can't find the thread to check on updates. When will that feature be available again?

  • If there is no info in the second date column leave the formula cell empty or say "incomplete"

    I can either get the calculation to work or I can get it to say Incomplete when the second date is empty. How do I get it to do both?
