Date & Time & Duration - working week adjustment

Hi there,
I have been working on an adjustment for time contract sheet.
I have an agreed completion date for a contract. Data format is Date & Time
I have a certain amount of days approved for adjustment of time, anywhere between 1 and x amount of days. Data format is Duration
I have an adjusted date of practical completion. Data format is Date & Time. SUM of 1. + 2.
I get the desired result - but only based on a 7 day working week.
What do I need to implement to allow for a 5 or 6 day working week only?
Example (based on a 5 day working week):
Agreed completion is Monday 16 December 2013
Approved adjustment of time is 6 days
Adjusted date of practical completion shows Saturday 22 December 2013, however I need it to allow for the weekend and therefor my required adjusted date of practical completion should show as Tuesday 24 december 2013.
Any help very much welcome.
Merry Christmas,
Patrik

Hi Patrik,
Although NETWORKDAYS may help, it's actually working in the oposite direction from which you want.
NETWORKINGDAYS will tell you the number of working days between two date. You want to determine an end date, given one date and a the number of working days to the other date.
Here's a possibility. It is set for a five day work week, with Saturdays and Sundays off, and does not accoult for additional 'exclude dates.' Adjustment days in the example were set to have the same adjusted completion date for each week of (original) completion dates.
There are two conditions to account for:
Each multiple of five adjustment dates will require two additional adjustment days to accomodate the weekend.
The expression 2*INT(C2/5) is used to insert these sets of two days.
The first IF expression determins if the adjusted completion date is needed. If no entry has been made in column B, the calculation is suppressed, and column C is left appearing blank.
IF(LEN(C2)<1,"",rest of formula)
If you want to see the original completion date rpeated in column C when no adjustment days have been added, replace the pair of double quotes in the (full) formula with B2
If the adjusted completion date (including the sets of two days added above) falls on a Saturdy or Sunday, OR if it falls on a weekday that is earlier in the week than the original completion day, a single pair of days will also be required to adjust for the crossed weekend.
The OR statement in the second IF expression triggers insertion of these two days.
OR(WEEKDAY(B2+2*INT(C2/5)+C2,2)>5,WEEKDAY(B2+2*INT(C2/5)+C2,2)<WEEKDAY(B2,2))
Formula inserted in D2, and filled down.
D2: =IF(LEN(C2)<1,"",B2+2*INT(C2/5)+C2+IF(OR(WEEKDAY(B2+2*INT(C2/5)+C2,2)>5,WEEKDAY (B2+2*INT(C2/5)+C2,2)<WEEKDAY(B2,2)),2,0))

  • 10.6.8 Date/time stopped working

    Hi, suddenly my date/time icon in the top bar is frozen at last Monday at 17:24. I checked my Pref but it seems properly set up.
    --In fact all my Apple OS icons on the top right are giving me the SPOD.
    Third-party software with icons up there works fine like Sophos and Dropbox.
    Any clues? THanks!

    Sorry to have troubled anyone, a good reboot was all it needed. I hope.

  • Automatic Date & Time not working in Pages 5

    I have some templates that I had created with Pages 09 which have Date & Time fields that are set to auto update.  When I open those templates in Pages 5, the dates are displayed as 7 days in the past.  When I right-click on the field to edit it, I don't see any such option to edit the date like I did in Pages 09. 
    So I tried inserting a new Date & Time field.  This inserts today's date as expected, but there is still no way to edit the date in any way (formatting, auto update option, etc.) that I can find.  Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

    It might be that you need to recreate your document and tables in Pags 5 and then resave it as a template.  Pages '09 gave an "update on open option" with a date insert wich is not there in Pages 5.  So simply insert the today() or now() function into a table cell in Pages 5 and it will update to the current value.  When you select the cell in the table with either of these functions, the Format inspector Cell tab gives you the option to format these calculations further.

  • Automatic date & time not working on my iPhone 4S

    Anyone got any ideas on why, when I set date & time to change automatically, does my iphone 4s revert to London time regardless of where I am?

    Switch to manual and the time where you are. Do it several time then return to automatic. Correct time should stand

  • Date/Time erros when working with Database Connectivity toolkit

    Hi!,
    We are observing errors with date/time when working with LV. The error occurs when the system datetime format is set such that day precedes month (e.g. dd/mm/yyyy). Our VI uses LV 7.1, Database Connectivity 1.0 and SQL Server 2000 on a Win2000 machine.
    Problem details
    Our database in SQL server has a table having columns with data type "datetime"
    If the system date format (as set in control panel) is "mm/dd/yyyy", the 'insert into database' vi works fine. This function inserts the date and time (among other things) into the above mentioned table.
    However, when the system datetime is set to dd/mm/yyyy we start receiving error that date and time is beyond range for dates in which the date had the day field greater than 12 (e.g. 23/10/2005). With the same settings, if the date is such that day field is equal or less than 12 (e.g. 03/10/2005), we do not receive an error but the date is interpreted as 10 March 2005 rather than 03 September 2005.
    Clearly LV (or is it SQL) is mistaking the day field as month.
    We have taken care that when sending and receiving date, the format date and time string is set as per system settings.
    Thus, if system setting is "dd/mm/yyyy" our format string is "%d/%m/%Y"
    And if the setting is "mm/dd/yyyy" our format string is"%m/%d/%Y"
    Any help on problem cause and cure is welcome.
    Thanks,

    Hi Xu,
    You answer led me to some very interesting fact finding on how SQL server handles date and time. I have attached a zip file which contains webpages that throw more light on this issue.
    The attached pages tell me that SQL has an inbuilt date/time reference format. The default in mm/dd/yyyy. Which explains why my VI worked when I used that format to write to SQL.
    However there is a catch:
    SQL expects the date/time to be in its inbuilt reference format when you WRITE data to SQL. If the date/time is in a different format, better tell SQL about it by using say the SET command you mentioned.
    BUT what about the date/time format when you are reading data from SQL?
    Our finding is that SQL sends date/time string in the system date format when you READ from SQL !!! That is very surprising behaviour (why differentiate between write and read?).
    Is our finding correct?
    So, we adopted the following simple strategy (yet to be fully tested):
    1) Whenever we write date/time to SQL, the string is formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Presently, the user's SQL server is in the default state. Caveat is that if the user changes SQL date/time from default (which is mm/dd/yyyy) to anything else, our software will give errors. But then he changed it  ;-)
    2) When we read date/time from SQL we format the string as per system date/time format.
    I know this is not very robust coding. But assuming the user keeps his SQL in the current setting, should we expect smooth working?
    In other words, are there any errors and/or flaws in our strategy?
    Thanks,

  • Unable to Open Date & Time

    I have been unable to Open Date & Time for several weeks now despite many attempts, rebootings and re-attempts. I get a "System Preferences has quit unexpectedly" message. It wasn't much of an issue when the time was correct, but the clock has recently reverted to December 31, 1969 and goes back to that date with each reboot. I have to hit a Continue button every time I go to a new website in Firefox (Safari no longer works) due to the time issue, and I can't purchase anything in iTunes.
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    One thing to try is to go to Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder) and verify and repair if necessary both permissions and the disk. If the start up disk needs repair, you will need to use the Disk Utility on one of the gray original discs that came with your computer. While you have the original discs out, you might try running the Apple Hardware test and see if anything shows up.
    It also could be that your OS has become corrupted. If this is the case, you will need to reinstall it. But be sure and back up all your data before taking this step.
    Please post back with any results.
    Good luck!

  • Schedule vibration mode for iphone using date/time

    Can we schedule iphone using date/time  (duration in each day) , so that iphone can go into vibration/silent mode as per the schedule!!
    Please share your views , Thanks in advance.

    Thank you , I'm aware of this , but the bet is to make some app to play around for myself, any idea !!

  • WARNING: Adjust Date & Time doesn't work

    I bought Aperture 2.0 because I was thrilled they finally have an adjust date/time feature. The interface is great, but it simply doesn't work.
    I was trying to adjust a batch of images by 30 seconds to get it in sync with another camera, however, it ended up adjusting it by 30 minutes!
    I was trying to get the time to change from:
    1:33:09 PM to
    1:32:39 PM
    and the image ended up at
    1:00:33 PM
    Anyone else had a similar problem or a solution for this serious bug?

    I added my own topic earlier this morning. In my case, it's working just fine if my primary image is RAW and all selected images are also RAW (Canon 300D). It also works just fine if the primary and all selected images are JPEG (from either a Canon S3 or a Panasonic Lumix digicam). However, if the primary image is RAW (Canon 300D) and any selected images are JPEG (anything modified in iPhoto, or originally shot in JPEG from by Canon 300D), all **** breaks loose on those JPEG image dates.
    I have some which went back a few months, but most of them jumped forward between 6 months and 2 years.
    Again, something is severely broken with this function.
    Anyone know how to get the original dates back? Please? I'm setting aside several hours tonight to restore the pre-2.0 backup, export my 2.0-only projects, and import those back in, just forgetting any changes I'd made to historical project files in the meantime. This really *****.

  • How to find out the top 10 data loads based on time duration?.

    Hi,
    We are working on performance tuning. so we want to find out the top 10 loads which had run long time in date wise.
    We need the load start time and end time of the load process, Infosource and datatarget name.
    There are nearly 1000 loads, So it is very difficult to collect the load's timings in RSMO.
    Is there any another alternative to collect the top 10 loads based on time duration in date wise?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Raju

    Hi Gangaraju,
    You can install BI Statistics for getting these type of data.
    Or you check in RSDDSTAT or RSMDATASTATE_EXT or  table for the Load process time.
    Or goto t-code ST13 to get detailed analysis of a Process chain for a given period.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to display time duration (NOT dates) with an input mask in a JTable?

    Background: I am trying to display in a JTable, in two columns, the start position and time duration of an audio clip.
    They are stored as type float internally eg. startPosition = 72.7 seconds.
    However I wish to display on screen in the table in HH:mm:ss:S format. eg. 00:01:12:7. The user can edit the cell and input values to update the internal member fields.
    Problem: I am finding it very difficult to implement this - what with the interactions of MaskFormatter, DefaultCellEditor etc.
    Also using SimpleDateFormat and DateFormatter does not work as they insist on displaying the day, month, year also in the table cell.

  • Camcorder time/date stamp not working

    I am working on a new movie. I loaded about 20 minutes of raw mini DV from my camcorder, and it loaded onto the clips plane just fine. I wanted to add a second tape, made on the same camcorder at a slightly later date, but this tape does not change clips for every scene change. I checked iMovie preferences, and the coreect box is checked; I repaired permissions. The second tape still grinds along for nine minutes and changed for each clip. Does anybody have any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    If the 2nd tape was ".. made on the same camcorder at a slightly later date, but this tape does not change clips for every scene change.." that suggests that the internal clock battery in the camcorder had run down, so there was no date/time stamp.
    Some camcorders use a separate flat, coin-sized cell to keep the clock going, and will do so for months - or years! - after the main camcorder battery has gone flat.
    Others have a small rechargeable cell inside, and that gets recharged by the main battery. So if, or when, that main battery goes flat, the extra rechargeable cell also goes flat after a few weeks or months - hence no date or time.
    It sounds as if this is a seldom-used camcorder, and that the main camcorder battery went flat, or was removed, and then the internal date/time cell ran out of juice.
    Before that camcorder is used again, its removeable/replaceable date/time cell should be replaced, or - if it's an internal recharging cell - the main battery should be recharged and left on the camcorder for an hour before it's used. Then - in either case - the camcorder's clock should be reset before shooting.

  • Week returned by Format Date/time String

    Has anyone tested the Format Date/Time String function with the week formating codes?
    I want to create a subfolder for each week and name the folder accordingly. For 17 December 2003 the week is 51 in the year 03 but I get week 50. For 29 December 2003 the week is 01 in the year 04 but I get week 52. For 01 January 2004 the week is 01 in the year 04 but I get week 00. For 29 December 2004 the week is 53 in the year 04 but I get week 52. For 01 January 2005 the week is 53 in the year 04 but I get week 00. There is no difference using %U or %W as code (this will be if 1 January will fall on Sunday or Monday which it does not in my examples).
    I know normally a year has weeks 1 to 52 but in some years the last week may have week
    53 as in 2004. Adding 1 to the week does not solve the problem. For 29 December 2003 it would give 53. And 53 maybe a correct week as in 2004. For 1 January 2005 it would give 1 but the week is the week in the year before.
    All the week numbering I expect is correct for Germany but the function is not. Is the numbering from the function correct for your country?
    Please reply where you are located and if the function will work right for you.

    I have found two resources about date and time and their formats.
    One is the ISO Standard 8601, the second is a german page. On this page along with other information all definitions used by Windows is listed.
    According to this page the ISO Standard has been established in Europe and most industrial countries. In USA it is ANSI X3.30-1985(R1991) and NIST FIPS 4-1.
    Since the ANSI definition you mentioned allows only Sunday (Jewish) or Monday (Christian) as first day of the week it ignores the Islamic world. For them the first day is Saturday. I could not gather information about Buddhistic or Hinduism
    based countries.
    For my application and the market aimed the ISO format is the one which will be choosen. Using %W and handling of week 0 should do it.

    Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
    Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
    Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
    You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
    If none of the above work..
    I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
    Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.

  • How do you split a list of dates/times into weeks?

    Hello all,
    I am trying to make a time management spreadsheet that will keep track of my odd hours at my workplace. What I want to do is have one table with all of my date/times in and out, hours worked, and notes, that is then linked to a form. In a second table, I'd like to tablulate my week-by-week totals as well as monthly leave totals (sick/annual leave). What I can't work out is if you can make a table that automatically calculates a total number of hours for a week/month. So for example, if I have all my work from January through March in my first table, that the second table would be able to split that sheet into week-long sections and calculate the total number of hours worked for each week. Is such a thing possible in Numbers? Am I making sense? Thanks for the help!

    =SUMIF(Work Times::C2:C84,Work Times::A2:A84,>=A14,Work Times::A2:A84,<=B14) returns a syntax error.
    I won't have and opportunity to test here, but I think you need to add double quotes and concatenate, e.g.
    >=A14
    should be
    ">="&A14
    etc.
    And you need to use SUMIFS if you have more than one column-criterion pair.
