Question

This question is somewhat similar to

Google Spreadsheet multiple column filter using OR

but where as he asks for the equivalent of:

select count(*) 
from Table 
where A is not null and (B is not null or C is not null)

I would like to do:

select count(*) 
from Table 
where A is not null OR (B is not null AND C is not null)

In fact what I am trying to do is filter on a date and I have been using

=FILTER(YEAR(Hours!A2:A)=2012,MONTH(Hours!A2:A)>=8)

to give me August going forward.

but now I need to add a limit to a certain day for the month. I would need something like this:

=FILTER(MONTH(Hours!A2:A)=8, ( MONTH(Hours!A2:A)=9 AND DAY(Hours!A2:A)<=13) )

in order to have all of August and then September only up to the 13th.

Is there a Syntax that allows this?

Answer 1

to have all of August and then September only up to the 13th.

One way (and this would be a “general” solution for filtering between two dates):

=COUNT(FILTER(Hours!A2:A;Hours!A2:A>=DATE(2012;8;1);Hours!A2:A<=DATE(2012;9;13)))
