Color coding by changing dates giving me grief
Hi! would appreciate anyone's help on this. I am trying to color code rows based on similar dates as shown:
i tried this code which worked till row 107 for some reason.. can anyone help figure out what happening please, thanks alot!
=ISEVEN(COUNTA(UNIQUE($A$2:$A2)))
Note: dates are being added everyday. this formula worked when i had already used old data but stopped working as i started entering a new date
Up to and including A106, the cells contain only a date (with midnight as time).
Starting in A107, the cells contain a formula that returns the date AND time - it uses NOW().
Solution:
- Manually, type the date 4-27-23 (without time) in A107:A111.
- Change the formula in A112 to =IF(B112<>"",IF(A112<>"",A112,TODAY()),"")
- Double-click the fill handle in the lower right corner of A112 to fill down.
