How to generate dates

Hi all,

I have a rather peculiar problem. I have created a simple OT tracker.

I want help in generating the data for the last two columns. Dates Worked Normal OT should tell which are the days a certain employee stayed back for OT on a weekday. So for example for Bob, this column will display "02/01/2018, 03/01/2018, 04/01/2018, 05/01/2018, 10/01/2018, 12/01/2018". For Bob, Dates Worked Double OT will display "06/01/2018, 07/01/2018, 13/01/2018".

Double OT is paid for OT covered in weekends.

I would like a formula where the last two columns are automatically updated when the data for Week3 and Week4 are added.

Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Maddy
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Sort by date Sort by votes
This raises some questions:

1. Are the numbers 1,2,3,...,14 dates but formatted as "d" or are they numbers? It would be easier if they were dates.
2. What are the formulas you have in place for calculating the four numbers you already have in place (18, 10, 6, 3).
3. What version of Excel are you using. Please say "2016" because it has TEXTJOIN which makes this soooo much easier.

For example, I created something similar:

Thank you so much for your reply WBD. To answer your questions :

1. The numbers were just text but I have now changed them to dates now.
2. The formulas I used are fairly simple sum functions which I have replaced with the formula you have given below.
3. Unfortunately I work with office 2013 and do not have access to office 2016. Can you please help me achieve the result in an alternative method? Furthermore it would be great if the code puts out "2nd, 4th & 14th" instead of "02/01/2018, 04/01/2018 & 14/01/2018"

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Maddy,

Does this have to be done with formulas or can I use VBA to write a User-Defined Function (UDF)?

Absolutely any solution is fine mate. I would gladly take UDF to generate the data into the cell. Is it at all possible to make it happen automatically so when the user changes the data the dates will be changed accordingly?

Thank you so much for your time.

Not to be a pain mate but I have one more request. Is it possible to append "NA" to the cells where there is no OT dates. Thanks.

Busy weekend. Let me give this some thought and I'll try and do something either tomorrow or Monday.

You are pure awesomeness mate. Got it to work exactly as I wanted. Thank you so much for your time.

If it's not too much trouble I have one last favor to ask you. I have tried so many various conditional formatting to achieve the following result.

An employee can do a maximum 12 hours of OT per week. And a maximum of 48 a month. An employee can only do a maximum of 3 hours of OT on a weekday and only 9 hours of OT on weekends. The OT sum for Saturday and Sunday should not exceed 9 hours. So I tried to come up with conditional formatting to color the cells Red or popup an error message whenever a number is entered violating the above criteria but I've had no luck.

For example following are acceptable scenarios.

Can you please help me achieve a system to stop the user from entering a value that would violate the OT allocations.

Many thanks in advance for your help.
