Adding Work Shifts

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Bahalzamon 2

I have a date/time field named Scheduled (orr_scheduled) and I am wanting to create a calculated column and have it populate the shift number (1-3).

They are 7-15, 15-23, 23-7. I cannot seem to find a function for obtaining the hour of the date/time field to then perform the calculation.

The ideas I can think of:

  • Creating multiple calculated columns to identify the number of hours and/or minutes since a set date and divide by either 24 (hours) or 1440 (minutes) and take the remainder to identify the hour/minute.
  • Use JS to populate the field on creation/modification.

One worry I have is the fact that there are timezones in play here. Any suggestions are welcome.

    im not sure what your wanting a picture of.

    all i have as of yet is a date field of Scheduled and I want another column named Shift with a numerical whole number value of 1-3 based on the above hour designation.

    Basically i just need to get the hour value that is stored within the date/time value of Scheduled.

    thanks for the reply, i was looking more for something that could be based on the time and time zone which doesn't seem to be possible.

    so i ended up doing js but as i just needed 1-3 for the desired shift here's what i did.

    function datetoShift(dateValue){
	var totalmin = (dateValue.getHours()*60) dateValue.getMinutes();
	if(totalmin>1380 || totalmin<=420){
		return 3;
	}else if(totalmin>900){
		return 2;
	}else if(totalmin>420){
		return 1;
	}else{
		return 0;
	}
}
