I have a time sheet that shows the Employee Name what action they performed and a unique identifier to the part they are working on in the WO #. I need a way to give a report to each employee of the work they performed on each day (Should be 8 hours). I need to find a way to extract in a different sheet or separate each employee per day and add up the hours for them.
Image of data that needs to be fixed
I can manually sort it and extract the data but I can't spend the time doing the manual extraction every time. The data comes in text csv file so to get the dates correct I already perform a
Sub ApplyF2()
Selection.Value = Selection.FormulaR1C1
End Sub
to the date to get the dates correct
I'm trying to put together an excel spreadsheet to show the day-by-day impact of stays by 3rd country citizens in the EU's Schengen area (it's a fairly complex rolling 180 day window). At the moment, I have a column with every day from a start date (so lots of rows) and another where I enter a 1 if there was a stay in a Schengen country for that day. Then other columns calculate when the 180 day period started and how many days have been in Schengen for that day.
It's a bit of a faff having to enter a 1 for every day away. I'd like to have another worksheet where I simply enter the start and end dates of (an arbitrary number of) each stay and then the calculation spreadsheet simply works out if each date falls within a stay or not. Working out whether a date falls within one date range is pretty straightforward, but working out if it falls within several date ranges isn't obvious to me. Any suggestions please?
After a very fair comment, here's a couple of images that hopefully illustrate what I'm trying to do (please ignore the colours).
Example of date ranges, but the number of these should be arbitrary:
The calculated sheet - currently I have to enter the 1s individually whereas I'd like them evaluated from the date ranges:
I have a spreadsheet with an input page that logs data on subsequent sheets. A macro will allow the user to input three date and time pieces for verifying how the data should be stored.
For example there is a Morning, Mid-Day, and Evening Report button; upon clicking the macro will verify the date and time fit into the appropriate window. My times are 8:00, 16:00, and 0:00 with the following code verifying the time falls into the correct window:
If Continue And reportdate - Int(reportdate) <> 0.33 Then
MsgBox ("The date and time are not correct for the Morning Report. Please change the time/date or select one of the other reports.")
Continue = False
End If
reportdate is the user input date and time for the report. The arithmetic = 0.33 and in my mind I am saying if the date and time doesn't match this value then the time frame isn't correct and a different report should be run. However, when I run this code for 8am the macro says it doesn't fall in the correct time window.
ok so as mentioned 0.33 is not actually 8am, it appears to be 7:55:12.
Using a stop and the locals window:
differenceValue = eightAm - midNight
Stop
Gives a difference value of 0.333333333335759.
You could use that or set up a differneceValue as above and compare to that.
Let me know if it works
I have a problem where I am trying to calculate in Excel if any part of a provided work duty time period is contained within a user defined period which specifies the night working hours e.g. 2330-0559 or 0000-0630.
If I provide a work duty time I want and any part of the duty is within the specified period it needs to be identified. E.g. 2230-0630 duty time is within both examples above.
I can tried a few different solutions and still not got the right way solve it.
Maybe someone can help. I also know that 24:00 in excel is used for midnight at the end of the day and 00:00 is used for midnight starting the day as excel works from 0-1 as part of the day.
=OR(MOD(A5,1)>$E$2,MOD(A5,1)<$F$2)
I would work with the number of minutes as decimal and with it make a valid range from "Duty start time" and "Duty end time".
Check if you can make any sense out of this:
Here the example:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O1B76srlY8sYQHsV_TiZVzi-7B_18eSj/view?usp=sharing
Update: Sorry for the lack of explanation. Here I try my best to clarify how I did it.
Conversion
First of all I try to convert any time into minutes, so 00:00 is 0 minutes, 01:00 is 60 minutes, 24:00 (excel shows 00:00) is 1440 minutes, 25:00 (excel shows 01:00) is 1500 minutes.
That conversion I do with CONVERT(E2,"day", "mn"), which does convert from day to minutes.
Range Normalization and inclusion
Now every range has to be normalized, that means the "End" has to be always bigger than "Start". For 00:00 to 06:00 this works fine, but for 22:00 to 06:00 it needs to be tweaked. So if "Start" is bigger than "End" then I add 1440 mins (24 hours) to "End". That I do with IF(A6>B6, 1440,0).
You then need to see if any "Duty range" contains the "Night range". That normally is done with the formula if (DutyEnd > NightStart AND DuttyStart < NightEnd) then TRUE.
Challenge 1
That was the main concept. But then if you try to compare a range like 00:00-06:00 contained in 24:00-06-00 it does not work. And that is because the converted minutes are 0-360 and 1440-1830, they don't contain each other.
In E3 to fix this I cut down 1440 with modulo (MOD()), then MOD(1440, 1440) = 0. So even if you use values like 25:00 or 52:00, they will be cut down to the smallest amount of minutes. E.g. 25:00 (1500 mins) = 1:00 = 60 mins, 52:00 (3120 mins) = 4:00 = 240 mins
Challenge 2
We have yet another challenge, the possible comparisons are as follows:
00:00-06:00 contained in 00:00-06:00 which in minutes is 0-390 contained in 0-390
00:00-06:00 contained in 22:00-06:00 which in minutes is 0-390 contained in 1320-1830
22:00-06:00 contained in 00:00-06:00 which in minutes is 1320-1830 contained in 0-390
These last two will not match. So that is why in the "Contains" column (E.g.: E6) I compare against the "Night criteria" - 1400 and + 1400.
Hope it is a bit clear. Let me know otherwise..
UNDERSTANDING DATE AND TIME IN EXCEL
Dates in excel are stored as INTEGERS. They represent the days since 1900/01/1 with that date being 1.
Time is stored as a decimal which represents a fraction of a day. 24 hours is 1, 0.5 is 12 noon. etc.
In other words, everything to the left of the decimal is date and everything to the right is time.
JUST USING TIME AND CROSSING MIDNIGHT
This is problematic from the view point that early morning times are less than the late times of the previous day. The fact of the matter is that they are larger. In our heads we do the mental math of knowing the are the following day but we ignore the date aspect.
A quick way to rectify this is to add the date to your time. Life will become much easier with the math. You may however not want to add full dates to start and end times. WITH THE ASSUMPTION that start and end times are not more than 24 hours the simple work around is is to add 1 to the end time when the end time is less than the start time. This means its the next day.
It the example date you provided, column C was insert to CORRECT the end time. It did the check of end less than start if so add one using the following formula:
=B6+(B6<=A6)
The part in brackets is a logic check. It either evaluates to TRUE or FALSE. When excel runs a boolean (TRUE or FALSE) through a math operator (not a function like sum) it will convert TRUE to 1 and FALSE to 0.
LENGTH
Straight forward math of C minus A since C is always after you start and is the larger of the two numbers.
=C6-A6
CROSSING MIDNIGHT
Need to be a little careful in your definition of crossing midnight when a start time or end time is exactly midnight. Technically speaking you did not cross it if you start or stop on it. The difference is really < versus <= or > versus >=. I will leave that to you to sort out. For the math I used:
=AND(A6<1,C6>=1)
Though I did not use this column for anything else
START CHECK
=OR(A6>$F$2,A6<$G$2)
END CHECK
=OR(B6>$F$2,B6<$G$2)
ANY TIME CHECK
I broke this into three columns. It can be combined into one but wanted to show the working parts. The first check is to see if the start time is before the night start and that the shift end time was after the night start time. The second check was similar for the the fisrt except you want to know if the start time is before the night end time and the shift end time is after the night end time. For the OR case you want to check to see if ANY of columns F through I are true:
COLUMN H
=AND(A6<=$F$2,C6>$F$2)
COLUMN I
=AND(A6<$G$2+1,C6>$G$2+1)
Note the +1 for night end time. This is to reflect that the end time is actually on the following day.
COLUMN J
=OR(F6,G6,H6,I6)
or
=(F6+G6+H6+I6)>=1
Place the above formulas in row 6 and copy down as needed
Well, I think I'm missing something but let's see if this works for you. To make this work:
All hours must be typed in hh:mm format
Night Criteria End must be on a different day. This means it must be over 00:00 or formulas won't work. If you type something
like start criteria=22:00 and night criteria= 23:50, both times
would be in the same day, so formulas won't work
This formulas only work in periods less than 24 hours. If anytime the different between criterias is over 24 hours, formulas won't work
properly.
Now, I replied your data like this:
The trick here is dealing with times without dates. Dates in Excel are înteger numbers and decimal parts are the hours/minutes/seconds. So to compare properly hours like this, you need to add an integer part.
Let me explain. In Excel, 18:00 would be 0,75. And 06:00 would be 0,25. If you try to get the difference between both times, you will get -0,5. In decimal it makes sense, but when trying to convert to time, it makes no sense for Excel. So, as I said before, the trick here is adding integers (in this case, because 06:00 is lower than 18:00, we would add +1), so Excel would make 1,25 - 0,75 = 0,5. And Excel can convert 0,5 to hours, and it will return exactly 12 hours, the right result.
So knowing this, the trick in formulas for your data is comparing ends with starts and add 1 or 2 to compare then properly with your criteria. That way Excel can figure out if a time is later or sooner than a criteria.
All my formulas are these ones:
LENGHT: =IF(B5<A5;B5+1-A5;B5-A5)
CROSS MIDNIGHT: =IF(Y(B5<A5;B5<>0);TRUE;FALSE)
START BETWEEN CRITERIA: =IF(AND(IF(A5<$E$2;A5+2;1+A5)>=1+$E$2;IF(A5<$E$2;A5+2;1+A5)<=$F$2+2);TRUE;FALSE)
END BETWEEN CRITERIA: =IF(AND(IF(B5<$E$2;B5+2;1+B5)>=1+$E$2;SI(B5<$E$2;B5+2;1+B5)<=$F$2+2);TRUE;FALSE)
ANY PART:=IF(OR(E5=TRUE;F5=TRUE;AND(A5<$E$2;A5+C5>1+$F$2));TRUE;FALSE)
Anyways, I uploaded a file to my Gdrive, in case it may be helpful to download and check the formulas.
This is the best I got. Probably there is a better way, but I hope this can help you, or at least, you can adapt it to your needs.

I have come across this problem several times, so I would like to ask you now. I often need to create time series with hourly time steps (usually for the length of one year).
So I start to write
01.01.2001 00:00
01.01.2001 01:00
01.01.2001 02:00
Then I drag the the fill handle, so that Excel automatically fills the next lines until 31.12.2001. But, for what reason ever, there is a sudden jump of only 59 minutes instead of a full hour:
05.01.2001 03:00
05.01.2001 03:59
05.01.2001 04:59
Anybody else who came across this? And can me explain the reason and/or recommend alternatives for an automatic creation of the time series?
In the first cell you need to change number format to
dd.mm.rrrr g:mm;#
Then you can write your first date and time. When you drag the fill to the second cell - edit it to get next hour. Then when you select this two cell and drag fill handle you'll get automatically time series +hour
