Timestamp difference in Working hours

Application can move in different trays in the workflow. Each tray has different State_Codes.  e.g. Tray = NSS has State_code RDY, RUN & CMP in the following example. But each tray would have RDY (shows application came in a tray) and CMP (application completed in a tray). How can I get that how many working hours each application stayed in each tray. Working days are Monday to Friday and working hours are 9:00-17:00. There is also a problem that the application can go in each tray once or more than once as two examples below.

Once example: In this example application moved in each tray only once.

Hello Shoaib,

Can you explain how will you calculate the working hours? (I mean formula/ Logic)

also what are the distinct values in State_code and what do they signify?

Hi Gopal,

I dont have any formula but the logic is that if application moves in a tray then the state_code would be RDY and when application leaves the tray then state_code would be CMP. So the timestamp difference of a tray between RDY and CMP. If application goes into a tray more than once then add those difference of a tray into one. State_code are RDY (application came), RUN (In progress), TRM (Terminated), EXP (Exceptional), SUS (Suspended) and CMP (Completed). Most of the applications have RDY, RUN and CMP.

Hello Shoaib,

Then I would prefer to do it in script.

Load the same file, create two additional fileds like the code below:

Load  *,

          if( State_code = 'rdy',time,0) as StartTime,

          if(State_code= 'cmp', time, 0) as EndTime

From <filename>;

Now Our answer is simple EndTime-StartTime in any chart. or If you wish you can create a field for doing the subtraction. I hope you understand the logic.

One thing to be very conscious that Time field should be in proper Date format else the Subtraction won't work.

Hope this helps

Thanks Gopal but it is not too simple. There are some issues as below:

  1. How can I get answer in working hours (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm)
  2. Application can go in a same tray multiple time then how will it work. e.g. how will add first time RDY and CMP difference and second time RDY and CMP difference and so on.

Hello Rafiq,

Reponses Inline

1. I hope here you do not want to calculate for Saturday and Sunday. Then do the following:

After loading the table above, use a resident load on it.

Load *,

          Hour(if(Weekday(time)<>'Sat' or Weekday(Time)<>'Sun', StartTime-EndTime,0)) as Timediff

Resident <tablename>;

All in all we have 2 functions in QV- hour and Weekday.

2. I also felt stuck about this question before I replied to your post. One thing to notice here is that we are not doing calculation on StartTime or EndTime we will be summing up Timediff Field, hence this will be avoided. In chart we will use Sum(TimeDiff) as expression.

Hope this helps..

Thanks Gopal,

  1. Yes I dont want to calculate Saturday and Sunday. Also I want to calculate only between 9am to 5pm. How can I restrict time 9 am to 5pm?
  2. So you are saying that if application moves in a tray multiples times then it will add up. e.g application moved in a tray three times then the code will add three differences into one?
