So basically I have an excel sheet featuring a number of different id's, dates, and a column where I would like to specify beginning middle or end in a 3rd column depending on the FIRST ID date. However this should only apply to the block of the same ID. When the next ID passes through, the date of the first ID in the block will determine the rest of the 3rd column, and so on and so forth.
The issue is much better understood when looking at the dataset.
ID DATE formula_col
10R46 10/8/2011
10R46 2/18/2012
10R46 6/30/2012
10R47 2/4/2010
10R47 5/16/2010
10R47 8/8/2010
10R47 12/11/2010
10R47 1/4/2011
10R48 6/26/2011
10R48 9/11/2011
10R48 1/29/2012
10R48 4/20/2012
10R48 7/8/2012
As you can see here. There is a block of consecutive ID's and I need the 'formula_col" to read beginning for the first date, and the rest of the dates would follow the following rule:
The first month is beginning, next is middle, next is end, then it repeats.
So if the first month was February (2), then the formulas for these ID's would be: February: Beginning March: Middle April: End May: Beginning June Middle July: End August: Beginning September: Middle October: End November: Beginning December: Middle January: End
So for the aforementioned dataset, it would be:
ID DATE formula_col
10R46 10/8/2011 Beginning
10R46 2/18/2012 Middle
10R46 6/30/2012 End
10R47 2/4/2010 Beginning
10R47 5/16/2010 Beginning
10R47 8/8/2010 Beginning
10R47 12/1/2010 Middle
10R47 1/4/2011 End
10R48 6/26/2011 Beginning
10R48 9/11/2011 Beginning
10R48 1/29/2012 Middle
10R48 4/20/2012 Middle
10R48 7/8/2012 Middle
Here is code I created if the first month is January, April, July, or October. But this isn't exactly what I want, just a start.
=IF(OR(MONTH(B2)=1,MONTH(B2)=4, MONTH(B2)=7,MONTH(B2)=10),"Beginning",IF(OR(MONTH(B2)=2,MONTH(B2)=5, MONTH(B2)=8,MONTH(B2)=11),"Middle",IF(OR(MONTH(B2)=3,MONTH(B2)=6, MONTH(B2)=9,MONTH(B2)=12),"End",NA)))
So the tricky part is the start of the month pattern depends on the first entry of the unique ID. Then it begins following the rule which only applies to this ID. When the next ID appears, the rule resets based on the date of the first ID. They will always be consecutive though I would prefer not to rely on that.
