Solution:-
Find the number of work hours between the Order Date and Ship Date. Assume a consistent 8 hour work day
Solution:-
1.Create a Calculated Field with
name “Work Hours” and enter in
the following:.
This calculation may appear confusing, so
let’s break this down .
The
first line in the calculation returns to us the total number of hours between
our Order Date and Ship Date. Since we are assuming an 8 hour work day, we are
NOT working 16 hours a day.
From our total difference in hours, we will
now subtract the number of days times 16. This represents the total number of
hours per day we are not working, so we will subtract this from the total
number of hours between our dates.
Lastly, we still must account for the
weekends, since we do not work at all during Saturday and Sunday. Using the
same logic to isolate the weekends, we subtract 16 for every weekend that we
have. This is because we have already subtracted the non-working hours for each
day, we just need to account for 8 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday that
we are not working.
2.Drag OrderID,Order Date and Ship Date into Rows.
3.Right-click on the Order
Date&Ship Date on the Rows shelf. Select Exact Date and make it Discrete.
4.Drag “Work Hours” and drop into Columns Shelf.
