This is a three step problem, I would need one formula to do all 3 things! Can some please help and give me insight on this?

  • If it is past 6:00 pm and a double digit day, count the unique times the item shows up in the Data sheet. The Item needs to be unique, have a unique date and task
  • If it is past 6:00 pm and a single digit day, looking at the date provide the following tasks that need to be completed.
  • If it is past 1:00 pm and a double digit day, Count the number of blank rows in the date column. When you get the correct answer, turn it to a word instead of a value so "TWO" instead of 2. Also, make the answer cell change to a blue fade from center format, and if its the wrong answer, make the format be Red with White text saying "Try Harder"

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
What should be the answers for your example, I'm having trouble understanding what should be displayed in the answer column

In the answer column it is suppose to be a number. It is counting how many times Polycom shows up with a different date and task. so for Polycom the answer should be 6, cisco should be 5, Vtech should be 3.
