If false do nothing

  • I have a table with data for last quarter

    Months Value

    Oct-20 10

    Nov-20 20

    Dec-20 18


    Another table with historic data that I want to grow:


    Months Value

    Jan-20 10

    Feb-20 18

    :

    :

    Oct-20 ---

    Nov-20 ---

    Dec-20 ----


    Every quarter I want to be able to fill the Value for the months of the quarter from the first table using Vlookup. However I don't want to disturb the values for the previous month. Can I write any formula or macro that would leave the older set undisturbed but add the values for the last quarter

  • Hello,


    Starting in cell E13 and to be copied down :


    Code
    =IFERROR(LOOKUP(DATEDIF(A13,$A$1,"m"),{12,0,12},{"Future","Current","Old"}),"")


    Hope this will help

  • Thank you Carim, I have worked that out for column E


    My query is how can I populate values in column B, C and D of second table from the first table if the corresponding months match - but DO Nothing if the months' don't match. So a way to retain the historic value.


    Many many Thanks

  • You are welcome :)

  • Need some clarification ...


    When you say " populate values in column B, C and D of second table from the first table if the corresponding months match "


    Am wondering if instead of working with a ' Copy Quarter ' ... you should not work with a ' Copy Month ' instead ...


    It all depends on your exact working process ...;)

  • Thank you.


    I prefer your first version, of clicking the button.


    One small tweek if you can please. I want to be able to create monthly report from the same chart - so say I only add the data for Oct-20. In that case

    A2 and A3 will be blank

    A7 and A8 will have Jan-00 as a date


    Can you create a logic that if A7 and A8 are Jan-00 then they dont get appended on table 2 please

  • Thank you Carim


    I feel like I am becoming rather demanding now. I am sorry


    I need to roll this out for the wider team to use so need it to be as simple as possible.


    I noticed you have used the if logic to remove Jan-00 from cells A8 and A9.


    Is it atall possible to just have one button Copy quarter which would copy 3 months in table 2 if there is data in a8 and a9, but only copy 1 month if a8 and a9 are blank.


    I will always be grateful

  • Great News ...!!! :)


    Thanks a lot for both ... your Thanks ... AND for the Like :thumbup:
