Working hours

How do I calculate the Interval between two dates, and ignore AFTER working hours. In other words, only consider hours between 08:00 and 17:00.

Hi Bradley, maybe there is a better solution but if it's fixed 9 work hours (and then 15 non-work hours) you can use:

=Interval((EndDateTimeField-StartDateTimeField) - Floor(EndDateTimeField-StartDateTimeField)*15/24)

If you have an hour field in your data you can add a flag like this:

if(hour((Hour_Field-1)/86400)>=8 and hour((Hour_Field-1)/86400)<=17,1,0) as TimeWorking8to5,

Hi Ruben

Thanks for this.  My result does not change, when I change the 15 to any other value.  Do you know why?  It also doesn't deduct the non-working hours.Please see the attached image.  In the example The "Repair Due" is tomorrow morning, therefore it should only be a few hours.Capture.PNG.png

Hi Bradley, that yellow row seems ok, the difference between "27/11/2014 14:53:56" and "28/11/2014 11:23:00" is "20:29:04"

In the expression "15" is the non-working hours... Maybe I don't understand the issue, can you explain?

HI Ruben

Yes it is 20:29:04.  But the non-working hours should still come off that, Because it's the next day.  So it should actually be round about 5 hours only. And the expression as you gave it, does not give me 5.  It gives me 20.

I hope that makes sense.

My expression : =Interval(([Original SLA2]-Now()) - Floor([Original SLA2]-Now())*15/24)

You're right, I see a lot of faults in my expression like if start time is 16:55 and end time is next day at 8:05 my expression will count the first day as if you can still work 15 hours.

I'm bit of busy today and can't elaborate, if I have free time I'll try to help you with the solution.
