1.I want to find out if an event with start time and end time falls "inside" or "Outside" working shifts for associates.

2.Segregate and calculate the production duration that falls within shift hours or outside shift hours.

(The Shift timings are 5pm to 2am which would be the next day so that is something to look out of for.)

In the attached image you can see that Row 2 : Stamp_IST is the starting time and Stamps_IST End is the end of that event (Production Hrs),

For example in row 6 the user starts his production inside shift 1:24:37 AM but ends his production outside shift 3:36:02 AM so ideally he has worked only for around 6 mins within his shift and only duration of 6 mins to be taken in account where as the rest of the duration should fall outside shift. so is there a way formula or a macro which would segregate give me the duration spent within and outside shift hrs.

Hi Sulprobil,

Thank you so much for your help, I tired running the code but i get an error pop up as "expected end sub error" . I tried googling it and work on the code but I am not able to proceed.

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
You can download and use my file here at your own risk (but I am using an up-to-date virus scanner):

If it does not work, you can press ALT + F11, insert a new (general, not class) module, and copy the VBA code in there.

If all of this does not help, I cannot help you. You would need a friend next to you at your computer to set it up for you.

Hi Sulprobil,

Thanks a lot , I did download the excel sheet that you had shared and its working but there seems to be a problem in the calculation.

So during ideal cases let's say 5:00 pm 2:00 am (IST) shift ,
Example 1 : The Event Start Time Stamp : 7/29/2020 12:24 am and Shift End Time stamp : 7/30/2020 2.00 am .
But in our databases the same time is considered as Event Start Time Stamp : 7/29/2020 12:24 am - Shift End Time stamp : 7/29/2020 2.00 am, the difference here is, the date and time is captured as per the shift timings. So the even if the times crosses 12:00 am, the date is still considered as 7/29/2020 and not as 7/30/2020.
This again is causing a mismatch in numbers if we considered data & time into the formula. - Table 1
I did a temporary solution by adding +1 to the dates when an event falls between 12am to 5am - Table 2

So there are multiple shift shifts, how do i add them to the vba code?
7:00 am IST to 4:00 pm IST
8:00 am IST to 5:00 pm IST
10:00 am IST to 7:00 pm IST
2:00 PM IST to 11:00 pm IST

Write into D2:
VBA Code:
=IF(B2-A2-C2>=0,B2-A2-C2,B2+1-A2-C2)
and insert a new column which defines the shift#,, then replace Early_Hours (and similarly Late_Hours) by
Code:
OFFSET(Early_Hours,(Shift# - 1)*9)
and write down all shift times in Sheet2 underneath each other.

Note: I am not a friend of this (A2>B2) trick. Normally you need to clean your data before you process it.

Sheet2


The file is stored here:


Hi
Write into D2:
VBA Code:
=IF(B2-A2-C2>=0,B2-A2-C2,B2+1-A2-C2)
and insert a new column which defines the shift#,, then replace Early_Hours (and similarly Late_Hours) by
Code:
OFFSET(Early_Hours,(Shift# - 1)*9)
and write down all shift times in Sheet2 underneath each other.

Hi Sulprobil,

Thank you so much for your help this worked. I really appreciate that you took time to help me out. I will let you know if i face any other problem.

Kudos on your testing. Nicely done coming up with specific test cases.

Next, in the future consider using the XL2BB add-in. Look for the link in my signature, or in the reply box. It's very easy to use, and generates a grid like I did in post 4. A huge advantage of it is that if someone reading the forum wants to work on a problem they just need to click on the page symbol

in the grid, then go to Excel and click Paste, and the entire grid is pasted in a worksheet. If you just paste a picture, that requires the helpers to manually enter everything, and most people won't bother with a large sheet.

Finally, regarding your Condition 4. This goes back to trying to decide what day the time goes with. Since you said you could add the dates to the B:E columns, here's how that would look:

The formulas are actually shorter. If you have an issue putting the date in with the times, let me know. I can try to adapt the existing formula, but it could be quite tricky, since we've seen that 17:00 PM could be before the shift starts, or after it ends.

Hi Eric,

Thank you so much to you too for helping me out. I did find a way to work around the problem that I came across. Hope I can learn a lot more in excel with this experience.

I'm glad you got your problem resolved. I had some other thoughts on it, but I wanted to see if Sulprobil's approach would work. In any case, if you have any more questions, come back and someone here will help you out. :)
