I'm a teacher and need help with a Google Form that collects the following info:
- Timestamp
- Name
- Class
- Lunch option
All of the data comes into a Google sheet. I'm using query function to take the data into separate sheets based on class, and I want to keep the data long-term for attendance and timestamp info.
I have another sheet that I would like to have calculated lunch counts only if the date is today. I don't want to remember to delete the previous day's entries.
Here's how the data is laid out
Form response sheet
- Column A - Timestamp data
- Column B - Student name
- Column C - Class
- Column D - Lunch choice
I then have a separate sheet called Lunch. I don't have much experience with the query function, but I've tried putting it inside an if function, I've tried copying the timestamp info into another column so that I can format the date out of the timestamp, I've tried comparing that date with the TODAY function, but it keeps returning it as false.
