I have a shared SharePoint calendar with a team. The purpose of the calendar is for individuals to post when they will be out of office. The posts are both single day or multi-day appointments.
I would like to count the total number of appointments per day so that I can see if there is a discernable trend for days spent out of office.
How can I count the total number of appointments for each day? I would ultimately like to visualize the data like this enter image description here
I tried exporting the data as a standard list but am not able to account for the days where a scheduled appointment spans multiple days - ex. 12/5-12/9. In this case, it would be exported as a single event but I would need to see that it counts towards the total number of events scheduled for each day - 12/5, 12/6, 12/7, 12/8, and 12/9.

I have a dataset in excel which shows headcount by employee level and which department each employee would fall under (sales, ops, or support). I would like to send a survey to each employee once every 26 weeks (2 times a year), but I would also like to keep sending surveys every week to ensure continuation of surveys to a certain amount of population split between sales, ops, and support departments based on their weight of the total population.
This way, I am sending surveys every week to a tiny bit of my overall headcount but only repeating people every 26 weeks.
Can anyone please help on how to solve this in excel with a formula?
From attached sample data, how can I split the headcount to send surverys for 26 weeks straight but to different population every week and not repeat? This different population should be split by % of department out of total headcount. Meaning if I have 10 people every week and % split is 40% sales, 30% operations, and 20% support, the survey should be sent to 4 sales, 3 operations, and 2 support people. Please note that the 10 people and the %s may vary every week because of new hires and resignations.
Thank you!
Sample Data
In the data sheet, ceate a helper column D, where you hand out the numbers to each employee, label it MOD. Use the formula for each employee, enter to cell D2:
=MOD(ROWS(A$2:A2)-1;$H$2)+1
That way each employee is assign a number from 1 to whatever is in the cell H2, e.g. 26. Then contact list all employees with 1 and you have the first batch and so you continue each week to get to employees with 26 in 26 weeks. This way all get the survey but just once.
Of course the share of the individual depts cannot be achieved each time, as there are less employees in some. If you wanted to keeps the shares, some employees of the smaller departments would get the survey more times.
If you want to get some randomness into the order, just mix the order of MOD numbers, e.g. start with 7, continue with 23 etc.
I hope I got the question right, I am not sure in some parts.
In Google Sheets, each day of the month I keep track of the total amount of time I spend playing games, the average time spent playing games, the average number of people I play games with, and the average number of people in the game lounge. To keep a log of this, I create a new tab/sheet for each day with each sheet being named using the format "mm.dd.yyyy". There's other information on each daily sheet as well.
I've made another tab/sheet that shows a monthly overview that displays the date (with the mm.dd.yyyy format), the day of the week, the total amount of time I spend playing games, the average time spent playing games, the average number of people I play games with, and the average number of people in the game lounge for each day.
The format of this sheet can be seen here:
I'm trying to figure out how to get that information from each daily sheet and put it into the monthly Overview sheet. I know that I can get information from a certain sheet by doing "='03.01.2020'!N65", where I've called the name of the sheet and the cell location. But, it's very tedious having to do that for each day of the month and for each bit of information.
Is there a way I could easily and efficiently update the the monthly Overview? Or could I create a method in the Script Editor that would take in two parameters - the date from the Day column (which would refer to the sheet I need to access) and the cell that has the info I need such as the Total Time spent playing games.
If there is a way to do this, let me know because I've been trying to figure this out for awhile.
I have a calendar on SharePoint online that I'm trying to use to track the amount of leave time employees use. Currently I'm capturing the number of hours daily that the employees are using a field on the event, but I would like to calculate the number of workdays in each event so that I can find out the total number of hours used by a given person.
I already assume I'm going to need another field to capture this, but how would I perform the calculation?
Below formula used to calculate working days, hope this helps.
=(DATEDIF([Start Date],[Due Date],"D"))-INT(DATEDIF([Start Date],[Due Date],"D")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY([Due Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))<0,2,0)+1
To get the working days from event item between the 'from' and 'to' columns You can use the following formula:
=IF(ISERROR(DATEDIF(From,To,"d")),"",(DATEDIF(From,To,"d"))+1-INT(DATEDIF(From,To,"d")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY(To)-WEEKDAY(From))0),1,0)-IF(AND(NOT(WEEKDAY(From)=7),WEEKDAY(To)=7),1,0))
I'm pretty new to Cognos 10 Report Studio so this may be a fairly simple question but I have been unable to find on answer so far.
In my database I have the hours a person has worked in a two week pay period, as well as what month a pay period exists in. I would like to total the over any period of months.
For example a user is prompted to choose a range of time, and they may select a start month of January of some year, and an end date of June of the same or some later year, and then the report would have a column that displays the sum of hours worked by a person between that time frame.
So in essence the sum of hours for every pay period in a given range of dates.
Thank you very much for your help.
If you want a list (or crosstab) with the User, year, month, and total hours in each month
Create a new data item (maybe something called - Hours by Month) defined as:
total([hours] for [Year], [Month], [User])
The function allows you to define the scope so the SQL is structured to give you the answer grouped the way you want
I have a table that tracks the dispatching of personnel. The table has the employee name and the date the person went out and the date they returned.
The table has hundreds of entries from 1988 to current.
In Excel I track the cumulative count per day (of the year) of how many people have been sent out, and I also track the number of people out on any given day. The table lists the Month & Day in the first column (every day of the year, including leap days) and the years on the first row. There is data for every date (a zero is entered until the first person is sent out that year, then starts counting up as there are more dispatches, or in the case of the number of people out each day, it will show zero if no one is out that day or if there were, say 5 people out, it would show "5" for that day). I then use the data in Excel to construct a graph that shows the number of dispatches on the y axis and the day of the year on the x axis (along with the current year’s number, the average number and the max over the 27 year history). Currently I just track this manually (I just keep a running count of each and enter it in manually in Excel.) I would like to build a query of my Access data that would return the same information that I could import into my Excel spreadsheet. One query that would show the day & month in the first column and the years along the top row and for each day show a cumulative count for that year of how many people have been sent out. Another query that has the day & month in the first column and the years along the top and a count of how many people were out for that particular day for that particular year. There shouldn't be any gaps (every day has data, even if it is "0"). I would then import those queries into Excel to replace my manual tracking that I am doing now.
I know how to construct the Excel stuff (I have that running already), and how to import info from Access to Excel, what I need to know is how to construct these 2 Access queries.
Any help/ideas on how to construct those 2 queries would be greatly appreciated!
I'd recommend that you migrate this app to a web based solution that uses a real database - SQL Server or MySQL, not Access.
"Desk drawer software" is what I call homegrown apps that someone creates for themselves to perform some small task that eventually become integral to running a business and grow out of hand. Your truck factor is 1: if anything happened to you, no one would know how to do this function. The software may not be backed up or checked into a source code management system. There's no QA. There's no way to migrate new features to production: if you alter the app, then that is what you have.
I'd recommend a web app to mitigate all the risks I've described:
You have to deploy a web app to a server, which takes it off your desktop and puts it in a central place where anyone who's authorized can access it.
Separates database from display issues.
Makes you think about how to archive historical data. Partitioning by year makes sense.
Likely you'll put this in a source code management system like Subversion or Git.
