Calculating TAT

[virgan]

I have some activities that needs to be done ina specified time

Like for example

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 96pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=128 border=0 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=2 width=64><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=64 height=17>TAT HRS</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=64>hrs</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=17>ACT 1</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" align=right x:num>4</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=17>ACT 2</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" align=right x:num>8</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=17>ACT 3</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" align=right x:num>24</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=17>ACT 4</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" align=right x:num>2</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=17>ACT 5</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" align=right x:num>4</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Based on time entered in start time and end time the TAT column should calculate the TAT based on the above standards.

I also would liuke to exclude weekends(Saturday, sunday). Also the TAT should only be calculated during working hrs between 7:30 PM to 4:30 AM.

Can any one help me with this..

 

[barry houdini]

Presumably start time and end time will also include dates? Do you really mean 7:30 PM to 04:30 AM, so on Friday that would take you in to Saturday morning?

Assuming that the start and end times are always within working hours try this formula in C2 to get TAT

=NETWORKDAYS(A2-0.25,B2-0.25)*9-9+(MOD(B2-0.25,1)-MOD(A2-0.25,1))*24

Format C2 as number

where A2 is start time/date and B2 is end time/date

 

[virgan]

The start time and end time will also have date along with time. Will this work in this case as well..

 

[barry houdini]

Yes, the version I posted assumes time and date in one cell. You can do it also with time and date in separate cells but you'd need to alter the formula a little then.......

 

[virgan]

Also i checked this formula. Would be able to explain a bit more as how you are including the actual TAT which i have mentioned in table 1 in calculating the TAT in table 2.

like say for example

Table 1 in sheet 1

[barry houdini]

The formula I posted just calculates the hours. I assume you want to look up the hours for ACT 1 (4) and see whether the actual hours are inside that figure or not?

If your "TAT" table is in sheet 1 A2:B6 then you can use a VLOOKUP to find whether TAT is met or not, see below

Formula in D2 copied down

=NETWORKDAYS(B2-0.25,C2-0.25)*9-9+(MOD(C2-0.25,1)-MOD(B2-0.25,1))*24

Formula in E2 copied down

=IF(D2>VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A$2:B$6,2,0),"Failed","Met")

Book1
	A	B	C	D	E	F
1	Activity	Starttime	Endtime	Hours	TAT
2	ACT1	3/18/200921:00	3/19/200922:00	10.00	Failed
3	ACT2	3/18/200921:00	3/19/200919:00	7.00	Met
4	ACT3	3/18/200921:00	3/19/200922:00	10.00	Met

Wil this exclude"Saturday's and sunday's" and will it only take the shift timings.

For example the TAT should only be calculated for time between

5:30 PM till 5:30 AM in weeddays!!!!

And no weekends at all....

 

[barry houdini]

You said in your first post that the hours were 7:30 PM to 4:30 AM, are they variable?

The formula I posted will calculate hours between those times, assuming your start and end times are always within those hours. Because your "day" goes through midnight I assumed that you would want to count Friday as 7:30 PM on Friday to 4:30 AM on Saturday, which is on a weekend, do you want to include those hours or not?

If you now want to change to count hours between 5:30 PM and 05:30 AM then you need to change the formula to this:

=NETWORKDAYS(B2-0.25,C2-0.25)*12-12+(MOD(C2-0.25,1)-MOD(B2-0.25,1))*24

This will count hours up until 5:30 AM on Saturdays as explained above but no other hours until 5:30 PM on Monday, is that the requirement?

If so I suggest you test the formula above with some sample times and dates to see if it calculates the way you think it should........

Hi

Im sorry for the late responce. I tried using the above formula but it do not seem to work.

The cell where i use the formula returns the value #NAME?

Please hlp...

 

[barry houdini]

Are you using the exact formula I posted?

Make sure you have Analysis ToolPak installed [Tools > add-ins > tick "Analysis ToolPak"]

If you have a non-English version of Excel you may need to translate NETWORKDAYS function into the correct language, because Excel won't translate Analysis ToolPak functions automatically
