I work at a school and at the end of each semester we need to total up instructional hours for each student in each class, then get the sum for the whole class. We keep our attendance on a Google Sheet each semester, so I can use fancy functions to do this. This function has worked perfectly the last couple years:
=arrayformula(sum(countifs([data range],{"","T","*all *","*no *"})))
I run this at the beginning of a row and it counts all instances where a student (or the entire class) would be counted as present, but doesn't count anything else; just like I need it (students are counted as present if the cell is left blank). I run this function on each row (for each individual student) and then run a quick sum at the bottom of the sheet and it's all good to go.
Well, this worked because our classes were all 1-hour long every day. Starting this semester, they are either 1 hour and 20 minutes or 32 minutes depending on the day of the week (each class has one occurrence that is an hour twenty and one that is thirty-two minutes each week). So the above function no longer works as it just totals how many classes a student showed up for. I now need something that will do that, but also multiply the result of each cell (1 or 0) by either 1.33 or .53 depending on the day of the week. This can be done by referencing each column's header, which has the date attached and running a WEEKDAY parameter nested in an IF parameter like so (using a class that has the longer instance on a Friday for example):
(if((weekday(Z$1))=6, 1.33, 0.53))
I put that together into a function that works:
=countifs(Z2,{"","T","*all *","*no "})(if((weekday(Z$1))=6, 1.33, 0.53))
... but I will have to create a dummy column next to the column that has each date's attendance data, tailor the formula to the column next to it and copy and paste the formula all the way down the column. I should only need to change the formula once per sheet, but I'll still need to create dummy columns next to each date and then run this formula by hand on each column. After all that, then I can sum up each row. It works... but I want something less time-intensive and prone to error.
What I am hoping for is a function that does what I have now (for single cells), but runs each portion of this function on each individual cell across an entire row of data after I add it to the beginning of the row and then, preferably, sums up the total hours at the end (should just be able to add a SUM parameter to the beginning of the function?); all in a one-cell function. I have tried using an array like I had before (in the first formula above), but the problem there (there's probably more than one problem), is that I can't get the function to reference each cell's header and run the IF function, I can only get the array to work on the COUNTIF portion of the function. Maybe this whole thing needs to be a script instead?
I hope what I am asking for makes sense and here is a link to a sample of the data I am using:
