Hi folks,
I'm trying to develop a "register" to record attendances at a Centre, as part of a membership spreadsheet.
Rather than having 365 columns (one for each day they may attend) - I've got 52 columns as one per week is much more manageable. I've got it to work out the date of the Monday of each week for the top of the columns, and am considering having the cells include data that reflects which day of that week someone attends, and what they did: such as Monday="1", Tuesday="2" etc. and "g"=group, "P" = phonecall etc.
The cells will therefore contain strings such as "1s2p" or "3c5p" or "4g" or blank.
Thanks to other threads in this forum, I've managed to get other columns to display which is the most recent week they attended, and what they did in that week. What I would really like to do is to work out the date they last attended.
I'm guessing that means extracting the largest number (of 1 to 7) from the string, and adding that to the date of the Monday of the week. However I can't find any simple way of extracting the largest number from a simple string
Am I missing something ?
