I’m trying to get my head around an excel formula but am struggling… any help would be appreciated.
Scenario
Input Data:I have a table detailing a list of people and dates on which they are to perform various tasks.
Name | Organisation | Task 1 | Task 2 | Task 3 |
---|---|---|---|---|
James | Tesco | 19/10/2024 | 11/10/2024 | 13/10/2024 |
Hannah | Sainsbury | 16/11/2024 | 19/12/2024 | 01/12/2024 |
Sarah | Tesco | 18/11/2024 | 16/11/2024 | 01/12/2024 |
Jane | Asda | 20/08/2024 | 09/08/2024 | 01/11/2024 |
Phil | M&S | 22/11/2024 | 12/12/2024 | 06/11/2024 |
Output Data:I’m looking to create a table that shows which tasks are out of date and for whom. This would involve getting:
- The names of people who have an out-of-date task
- The header showing which task is out of date
- The date of the task
Assuming the date is 14/10/2024 the output for the above input data would look like:
Name | Organisation | Task | Date |
---|---|---|---|
Jane | Asda | Task 1 | 20/08/2024 |
James | Tesco | Task 3 | 13/10/2024 |
Jane | Asda | Task 2 | 09/08/2024 |
I was planning on using the “Filter” function, however whilst this will give me a list of Names/Organisations for people who have outstanding tasks, I don’t believe I can use it to show what task is outstanding or the date.
Is what I’m looking to do possible, or have I reached the limit of Excel functions?
Thanks in advance for any help.
