I am facing a problem when I am assigning a one day task to a resource who works for 9hrs/day but with 25% availability. Following are the steps
Created a calendar with 9hrs as working hours (for all days) as shown below
Assigned availability to "Dummy" Resource as shown below
Created a 1 day task "Dummy" as shown below
Problem is
Work Column must be 2.25 hrs
Calculation: Dummy resource for 9hrs/day at 25% availability = (25/100)*9 hrs = 2.25hrs
but it is showing is 2.13 hrs
How to assign a long duration task (say 1 year) to above resource with different availability (as shown in image above). [Note: There are other resource who work for 8hrs/day with different availibility hence I cannot change MS Project "OPTIONS"]
I have created 3 calendars - CAL_1, CAL_2 and CAL_3 for 3 different locations. Each location has its own non-working days in each quarter. For example 15 weekdays are not working in Mar, Jun, Sept, Dec in CAL_1 every year. 10 weekdays in same manner for CAL_2 every year and so on. Is there any VBA script by which I can automate such work for every year (note: weekends are not included).

Colleagues, I really need your advice on how to create a report with the following format in Cognos Analitics:
I only have the value "amount of money" and the dimensions "date" and "Person", and I need to display in the report the value for a specific date, and the change from the previous date.
for example, 01.02.2018 Person1 had 50 of the money, and 01.03.2018 Person1 had 61, so field № 3 is equal to 11 (61-50).
As you can see, there is no "change" column after the first field, because there is nothing to compare it with.
Do you have any ideas on how to generate such a report?
P.S. user selects the start date and end date of the report independently in the invitation
Maybe try creating multiple metrics
Call the first Day 1 Amount
Call the second Day 2 Amount
Call the third Day 3 Amount
You could even define each metric relative to the other
Day 1 is based on the date selected
Day 2 is for the prior day
Day 3 is 2 days before... etc
Build the crosstab slightly different. Instead of placing the metric in the middle
place them side by side
Then you can run calculations, %difference, growth etc on the fly
I have a dataset that includes dates and count of reports. I am tasked with generating matched-pairs using these guidelines:
Reports will need to be matched to the week immediately prior to or following. (For example: Jan 23, 2000 will be matched with Jan 16, 2000 and Jan 30, 2000)
Holidays must not be included in the final matched-pairs generation.
I have been able to identify the holidays within the dataset but am still stuck on how to generate the matched pairs. Any advice would be much appreciated!
Example of the Data
I am making assumptions as I could not ask for clarifications.
Assumptions I made
a> You wanted to get a formula bash
b> You wanted the date closest matching the previous week to the specific date. for example a Monday event needed to match closer to an event on Monday the previous week. As the data set you gave showed multiple reports through the week. It was not clear what pattern of the previous week you wanted to match.
Solution based on Assumptions.
1> You can mathematically turn each date to a grouping of which week they were in for the year. Then match them to one another. For example 1/1/2003 would be 1.1. A date in 14/1/2003 would be 2.1.
You can then patten match on if 1.1 = 2.1 if that hits it's a match if not it would loop until it saw an entry in the range of 2.[0-9]. You can place an if statment to check if there is a holiday on the match, if there is one it will continue the loop.
I cannot seem to determine why Grafana is only displaying data points for the past minute even though we have been collecting data for longer than that (couple days).
That is, switching to "5 minutes ago" only displays the last minute of data and seems to cut off with each refresh. However, selecting a specific time range displays all data points correctly.
For this data path, storage-schemas.conf is setup like so:
retentions = 1s:24h,15s:7d,1m:30d
From what I gather, that means that I should have 1-second precision data for the past 24 hours, 15-second data for the past 7 days, and 1-minute average for 30 days. Is this also a correct assumption and if not, could it be related to the grafana problem?
I have an Excel table which contains thousands of incident tickets. Each tickets typically carried over few hours or few days, and I usually calculate the total duration by substracting opening date and time from closing date and time.
However I would like to take into account and not count the out of office hours (night time), week-ends and holidays.
I have therefore created two additional reference tables, one which contains the non-working hours (eg everyday after 7pm until 7am in the morning, saturday and sunday all day, and list of public holidays).
Now I need to find some sort of VB macro that would automatically calculate each ticket "real duration" by removing from the total ticket time any time that would fall under that list.
I had a look around this website and other forums, however I could not find what I am looking for. If someone can help me achieve this, I would be extremely grateful.
Best regards,
Alex
You can use the NETWORKDAYS function to calculate the number of working days in the interval. Actually you seem to be perfectly set up for it: it takes start date, end date and a pointer to a range of holidays. By default it counts all days non-weekend.
For calculating the intraday time, you will need some additional magic. assuming that tickets are only opened and closed in bussines hours, it would look like this:
first_day_hrs := dayend - ticketstart
last_day_hrs := ticketend - daystart
inbeetween_hrs := (NETWORKDAYS(ticketstart, ticketend, rng_holidays) - 2) * (dayend - daystart)
total_hrs := first_day_hrs + inbetween_hrs + last_day_hrs
Of course the names should in reality refer to Excel cells. I recommend using lists and/or names.
Essentially, I have a query that is responsible for fetching all records (with specific filters) within the last month. I'm using Oracle's interval keyword and all was working great until today (December 31st, 2009). The code I'm using is
select (sysdate - interval '1' month) from dual
and the error I get it
ORA-01839: date not valid for month specified
How can I use the interval keyword to be compatible with any date? Or if anyone has a better way of approaching the issue, I'm all ears.
Thank you.
try
select add_months(sysdate,-1) from dual
Being pedantic...
The requirements are not quite specified perfectly unambiguously. What does the business mean by "within the last month"? Most people would take that to mean "within the current calendar month" in which case I'd use:
TRUNC(SYSDATE,'MM')
Otherwise, perhaps they want an arbitrary period of 1 month prior to the current date - but then how do you define that? As you've found, INTERVAL '1' MONTH simply subtracts one from the month portion of the date - e.g. 15-JAN-2009 - INTERVAL '1' MONTH returns 15-DEC-1999. For some dates, this results in an invalid date because not all months have the same number of days.
ADD_MONTHS resolves this by returning the last day in the month, e.g. ADD_MONTHS(31-DEC-2009,-1) returns 30-NOV-2009.
Another possibility is that the business actually wants to use an average month period - e.g. 365/12 which is approximately 30.4. They might want you to use SYSDATE-30, although of course twelve iterations of this will only cover 360 days of the year.
