Hi All,
I have a spreadsheet that will eventually contain a lot of data and I want to be able to use formulas and data validation to populate that data onto another sheet by date. I can't use the filter tool in my case.
On the sheet with all the data column A has a timestamp formula:
Column A is formatted as MM/DD/YY 13:00 (24 hour clock). I'm not sure if it matters what it is so long as I keep things consistent.
There is data is columns B through H.
My vision for this spreadsheet is for a user to enter a start and end date (using data validation to make sure they do it correctly) and all timestamp dates between those two dates will be populated on another sheet.
Once I figure out how to do that I want to use VLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH to get the data in the other columns, BUT I'm not sure that will work because I'm not sure how the timestamp data works. Sometimes 2 timestamps have the same value up to the minute but 2 timestamps will never have the same value up to the second. When I cycle the timestamp cells to a text format they are all unique values so I imagine VLOOKUP and INDEX MATCH will work but if any of you have experience that proves otherwise I'd appreciate a heads up.
I'm getting pretty good at VLOOKUP and INDEX MATCH, so I don't think I'll need help on that. I'm stuck on how to select data between 2 dates though.
Thank you in advance.
