Excel Spreadsheet

Hello
I get given a report downloaded from Workday with our employees in European offices and Mumbai, with start dates so we can then filter and track their milestone anniversaries such as 5yr, 10yr etc - what is the best way to filter that information to show clearly the work anniversaries in each month of 2024 for example so i do not miss anyone?

RE: Excel Spreadsheet

Hi

Here’s a step-by-step guide to filter and track work anniversaries in Excel:

Add a Column for Anniversary Year:
Insert a new column next to the start dates.
Use the formula =YEAR(TODAY()) - YEAR([Start Date]) to calculate the number of years each employee has been with the company.

Add a Column for Anniversary Date:
Insert another column for the anniversary date.
Use the formula =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH([Start Date]), DAY([Start Date])) to get the anniversary date for the current year.

Filter for Milestone Anniversaries:
Add a column to check for milestone anniversaries (e.g., 5, 10, 15 years).
Use the formula =IF(OR([Anniversary Year]=5, [Anniversary Year]=10, [Anniversary Year]=15), "Milestone", "").

Filter by Month:
Add a column to extract the month from the anniversary date.
Use the formula =TEXT([Anniversary Date], "mmmm") to get the month name.

Create a Filter:
Select your data range and go to the “Data” tab.
Click on “Filter” to add filters to your columns.
Filter the “Milestone” column to show only “Milestone”.
Filter the “Month” column to show the specific month you are interested in.

Highlight Milestone Anniversaries:
Use conditional formatting to highlight milestone anniversaries.
Select the “Milestone” column, go to “Home” > “Conditional Formatting” > “New Rule”.
Choose “Use a formula to determine which cells to format” and enter =[Milestone]="Milestone".
Set your desired formatting (e.g., bold text, different background color).
By following these steps, you should be able to clearly see the work anniversaries for each month in 2024 and ensure you don’t miss anyone’s milestone anniversaries.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Creating custom lists

In Excel if you type in January in a cell, you can then copy this cell to replicate Febraury, MArch, April etc.

This list has come from Tools- options and Custom lists.

Therefore to save time and create your own list you can click on New (in Tools and custom list tab) and type out the lsit that you want copied quickly.

All you have to do is then type in the 1st word and you will be able to copy the rest of the list quickly.
