    Multiple logic test formulae

    Hi All,

    I’m new to the forum but just wondered if someone may be able to suggest a solution to my problem.

    I have created an Excel Dashboard to report on a number of KPI’s which are extracted from a CRM database via a report which is then exported to an excel sheet.

    The KPI which is reported on is For each Opportunity, did we agree an NDA with a Freelancer prior to presenting the profile to the customer.

    The CRM Database has an Opportunity Table which lists the Opportunity Name and an Activity Table which list types of Activities (NDA Agreed, Profile Sent) and date they are carried out on (End Date)

    The data I get from the report therefore has 3 columns:

    A B C
    Opportunity Name Activity_Type Activity End_Date

    I am trying to construct a formulae which will allow me to check if the End Date of the Activity Type NDA sent is before the End Date of the Activity Type Profile sent. That is fairly easy but my problem is how do I get the formulae to also check that the two activity types are from the same Opportunity Name since there will be multiple opportunities names, some with NDA sent only (where the Profile hasn’t been sent yet) and in theory some with Profile sent only (if the process hasn’t been followed correctly). In addition I may need to add an additional column since each Opportunity Name can have multiple Contractors and therefore multiple instances of NDA sent and Profile sent and I need to match the test to the same record.

    Hope some of this makes sense, I'm having brain failure just writing about it.

    Any suggestions or advice much appreciated.

    Thanks
    Jaime

    Re: Multiple logic test formulae help

    Might be best if you post a mock up of the workbook that you are using and some examples of the answers that you are expecting the formulae to give.

    Re: Multiple logic test formulae help

    Hi Martin,

    Ok I've made a mock up of the sort of sheet and attached it. I think I have determined that I can do away with he opportunity so what I want to be able to do now is write a formulae that will report true or false (or 1/0) under the following Circumstances.

    If for any particular Candidate the date on which the NDA was agreed is earlier than the date on which the Profile was sent for that candidate then the test should return True.

    If any particular candidate the date on which the NDA was agreed is later/after the date on which the Profile was sent for that candidate then the test should return False.

    Any candidate that has only a entry of NDA sent can be ignored.

    Any candidate that has only an entry for Profile sent should flag as False.

    In theory it sounds easy but in practice I cant even begin to write the test since it has too many elements :-(

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Many Thank
    Jaime

    Ok sorry I couldn't figure out how to attach the sheet so here is a copy paste...

    Date Candidate Activity
    24/05/2013 Joe Cool NDA Agreed
    25/05/2013 Charlie Brown Profile Sent
    26/05/2013 Joe Cool Profile Sent
    01/06/2013 Bart Simpson NDA Agreed
    02/06/2013 Charlie Brown NDA Agreed
    05/06/2013 Joe Cool Profile Sent
    10/06/2013 Penny Profile Sent
    15/06/2013 Sheldon NDA Agreed
