    How can I add BUSINESS HOURS and get a date?

    sdebo - thank you for sharing such a nice code. I was thinking of this approach - just adding a fixed increment to the time given, but I decided against it as this will provoke 2 such incremental calculations for every case I process and there are several hundreds of cases to calculate. I have...

    Crystal official formula bug? Or just me?

    Thank you very much, I will try it. I have already applied some changes to the logic in the formula, however, the formula is presented as a tool to calculate business hours between two time stamps. It might be not a bug as the formula works, just the workflow is flawed. Thank you again for...

    New data, same source, same formulae in CR - no effect

    No, I did not modify anything. Just changed the values, this is it. No additional comumns. Couple of additional rows, which I re-defined then as the name in excel I was using last time.

    New data, same source, same formulae in CR - no effect

    This is what I have been using. Cryustal just wants to re-map the field. Why? P.S. The column in the old file contained 1 record, in the updated version the column is empty, but I still need it.

    How can I add BUSINESS HOURS and get a date?

    Hello Peter Ok. the ticket came in at 12:12, the end of business day is 17:00, than means that the ticket has been worked on for 4:48 (17:00 - 12:12). We have 2 business hours, or 16 business hours for the ticket, so 16 - 4:48 already spent would be 11:12 business hours to go for that ticket...

    How can I add BUSINESS HOURS and get a date?

    Hello Peter thank you for constructive criticism, you are partially right. In the prefatory remarks I have mentioned, that I have to add business hours, not business days. So we have to have some variables: 1. Start_of_business_day, (HH:MM:SS) which may very. 2. End of business day...

    How can I add BUSINESS HOURS and get a date?

    LBASS - thank you very much for the link to the formula. The site is really interesting. However, the formula does not refer to my problem as it adds or substracts business days. I need hours. 2 busines days = 16 business hours. To illustrate what I am talking about here are some details: Fox...

    Hello gurus, hope some of you guys have already run across this one. In Crystal we can easily calculate the amount of business hours between two different dates. There is even a way to work with negative values. I have a problem of another kind. I have to ADD several business hours on a...
