Default Help with a formmula change in a "flag" parameter!

BTW, I've just spotted a little bit of redundancy (subconciously I noticed
it first time through, but just couldn't pin down what was bugging me while
I was looking at the bigger picture) - you don't need to check for K4="" in
the third IF because any other possibility was dealt with by the first.

=IF((H4="")+(K4""),"",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on Time",
IF(TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,10+35*(LEFT(N4,6)="Hudson"), AA4:AA12), "Return
Referral Form to Referent","")))

will achieve the same.

Hi Dan, I've been called many things so Ron didn't really bother me, and I
have a lot of respect for Ron de Bruin (whom, I presume, you were thinking
of).

The only part of the formula which deals with the number of workdays added
is:

10+35*(LEFT(N4,6)="Hudson")

which can only result in 10 or 45.

A comparison such as (a=b) when combined with other values (in an Excel
formula) results in either 0 or 1, representing FALSE or TRUE. So the
number of days added would either be 10+35*0 = 10 when the first 6
characters of N4 are not "Hudson", or 10+35*1 = 45 when they are. There
are no other possibilities here.

If your holiday list AA4:AA12 was long enough I would have said the
problem lay in it's content, but, since it isn't, the only other thing I
can think of is: Do you really want TODAY() in your formula, or should
that refer to some other date? Remember that TODAY() will update every
time the workbook is opened/recalculated.

Sorry about the name thing Steve. I don't mind Fred however lol.

Thanks for the formula update. The only thing I notice however is that
the
"Return Referral Form to Referent" flag for all Hudson classes is now
occuring after day 63, as opposed to after day 45. The triggering of this
flag for classes other than Hudson is working correctly however.
Suggestion
for what I need to adjust so that all Hudson classes (identified in
Column N)
trigger the "Return Referral Form to Referent" after day 45. Again thank
you
so much for your help!

Your formula worked perfectly Ron!

One final question however..............Usually our class is
"Hudson

Is
there a way of using a wild card in the formula, so that any class
in
Column
N which is a Hudson class (regardless of Sat, Sun, or Sat & Sun)
can
trigger
the 45 day flag as you set up?

Thanks so much!

The formula I have below in Column R works just fine. It creates
a
flag
for
me (in Column R) that lets me know one of two things: “Client
Failed
to
Enroll on Time”, and “Return Referral Form to Referent”. Here is
that
formula:

=IF(H4="","",IF(K4"","",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll

Referent",""))))

The one change (addition) that I’d like to make, is this:

If Column N is toggled to say “Hudson Sat. & Sun.”, than I’d
like
the
following portion of the formula above to change:

TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,45,AA4:AA12))

Please note, that the only change in the string of formula above
is
the
reference to when the flag “Return Referral Form to Referent” is
triggered.
In the original formula, this flag triggers in 10 days
(excluding
holidays
and weekends) from the date of the referral (which we identify
in
column
H).
If Column N is toggled to say “Hudson Sat. & Sun.”, than I want

EXTEND
the
length of time in which this flag would trigger (making it

at
45
days-as opposed to 10). The 45 days would continue to exclude

Hi Steve!

Thank you SO MUCH for your help and clarifications. Sorry for not responding
sooner, but I've had some computer problems (which are now resolved), and
over the weekend I didn't have a chance to get online.

I feel that this discussion group is so invaluable in terms of learning.
Most of my Excel knowledge has come from this group.

Have a great week Steve!

Default Help with a formmula change in a "flag" parameter!

Meant to ask you Steve if you had another suggestion for replacing ()TODAY in
the formula?

My goal is that the "Return Referral Form to Referent" flag should populate
10 days after the refferal was made (for all but Hudson folk who have 45 days
as you know).

As you also know, this isn't a pure 10 or 45 days, given that this time
frame excludes all weekends and holidays (which are input into the formula as
reflected with AA4:AA12).

Typically a 10 day student has 14 days to enroll (taking into account
weekends without a holiday), and a 45 day student has 49 days to enroll
(taking into account weekends without a holiday). We don't consider weekends
and holidays as part of their 10 or 45 day enrollment deadline. So in essence
they do get a bit more than 10 or 45 days to enroll.

I place the date of referral in Column H, and once a student enrolls, I
place their enrollment date in Column K. If I don't input an enrollment date
into Column K, and if the deadline to enroll date passes, then the "Return
Referral Form to Referent" flag should populate in Column R.

Hope this adds clarity to my goal...................Hope you are well!

Best,

Dan

Default Help with a formmula change in a "flag" parameter!

Hi Dan,

surely, looking at it that way, a 45 day student has 63 days to enroll if
weekends are taken into account?

Is the actual requirement 49 days overall (7 weeks)? In which case the
figure 45 should in fact be 35 (7 * 5-day weeks). Which would then make the
formula:


=IF((H4="")+(K4""),"",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on Time",
IF(TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,10+25*(LEFT(N4,6)="Hudson"), AA4:AA12),
"Return Referral Form to Referent","")))


Does that now work the way you expected?

Default Help with a formmula change in a "flag" parameter!

Hi Steve!

When most students were given 10 days to enroll, this DID NOT COUNT weekends
or holidays, and as such, the "Return Referral Form to Referent" was
flagging at approximately 14 days (a few days more if there was a holiday
involved). This will continue to work fine for all NON HUDSON students.

However, when we began seeing students in Hudson, this school system gives
them up to 45 days to enroll, but DOES COUNT weekends and holidays.

Given the current forumla, these Hudson students are flagging at
approximately day 63 as you said, becasuse $AA$4:$AA$12 is the piece of the
current formula that gives students extra enrollment time in order to not
penalize them when a weekend or holiday occurs.

In addition, Hudson students have to complete their class within 90 days of
their referral, so this could be a problem if the enrollement deadline flag
occurs at day 63. It would be difficult to enroll and complete with only 27
days left to go.

I think the fix will be this.........

Any student identified as being in a Hudson class (Column N) should flag
"Return Referral Form to Referent" at day 45 (not counting weekends or
holidays). With all other students, we can leave the 10 days to enroll as is,
as well as continuing to factor in weekends and holidays as we had been doing
up to this point. Does that make sense?

So I suspect that the formula will have to ignore the holiday allowances
($AA$4:$AA$12) when a student is identified in Column N as taking a Hudson
class.

Thanks again so much for your help Steve!

We're nearly there then, this should do it:

=IF((H4="")+(K4""),"",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on Time",
IF((TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,10,AA4:AA12))+
(TODAY()H4+45)*(LEFT(N4,6)="Hudson"),

Hi Steve!

When most students were given 10 days to enroll, this DID NOT COUNT
weekends
or holidays, and as such, the "Return Referral Form to Referent" was
flagging at approximately 14 days (a few days more if there was a holiday
involved). This will continue to work fine for all NON HUDSON students.

However, when we began seeing students in Hudson, this school system gives
them up to 45 days to enroll, but DOES COUNT weekends and holidays.

Given the current forumla, these Hudson students are flagging at
approximately day 63 as you said, becasuse $AA$4:$AA$12 is the piece of
the
current formula that gives students extra enrollment time in order to not
penalize them when a weekend or holiday occurs.

In addition, Hudson students have to complete their class within 90 days
of
their referral, so this could be a problem if the enrollement deadline

Hey Steve!

Just got in to work and off to a few meetings (ah the life of an
administrator). When the dust settles today I will plug in the formula and
see how it works. I'll get back to you ASAP. You've been extremely helpful my
friend. This is fun. I love a challenge!
