I need to solve this problem that I've been trying for a long time and nothing to achieve.
In my app, the user clicks a button that advances through a calendar day by day, but, I need to return in this method, the exact sequence of a certain value that is given in a certain number of n days and n hours.
I explain: the calendar is stopped on a day whose value is: 22 days and 3 hours (1), the user clicks to advance one day and the new value for that day is: 22 days and 10 hours (2) which are converted into hours to return a sequential integer each day ahead.
Thus, in the formula ((day * 24) + hours) / 24 we have:
((22*24)+ 3)/24 = 22,125(1)
((22*24)+21)/24 = 22,416(2)
rounding these values, we have the value for both days, it is both 22, but the value for the next day would have to be 23.
Look:
For the current day the calculated value is 22
for the next day, it is also 22, but must be 23 (sequencial value).
How do I solve this in kotlin?
Can anyone here help me?
Thanks in advance
[EDIT]
Maybe I can better explain the problem with this figure

Background
I've been working on some reporting views that get a multi-day work shift and are supposed to do some calculations based on data, but I'm a bit stuck here.
A typical shift is either 3 calendar days usually 1 half-day and two full days, or a whole week consisting of 2 half-days (end and start) and 5 full days.
Specifications
I have the following specifications for what is a full day and half-day. These rules are based on regulation and can't be changed.
2 half-days != 1 full-day, the 2 halves is more "valuable"
Given a started_at iso datetime and end_at iso datetime
I want to get two numbers, full_days, and half_days
A half day is
A day at the start of the range starting at or after 12.00
A day at the end of the range which ends before 19.00
A full day is
A day within the range (traditional 24hours)
A day at the start of the range starting before 12.00
A day at the end of the range which ends at or after 19.00
I'm thinking either a row per full-day and half-day or an aggregated row with half_days and full_days as two separate columns would be ideal in the view to connect it with my other views.
Simplified model
I simplified the data model to leave out unnecessary columns.
create table if not exists [trip]
(
trip_id integer
constraint trip_pk
primary key,
started_at text default (datetime('now')),
end_at text default (datetime('now'))
);
And I'm a bit stuck with how I should design this query. A simple time delta doesn't work.
SQLFiddle with sample data and answers: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!5/de7551/2
You can solve this with a CTE which calculates the day span (number of days the shift spans). Since half days are always 1, 2 or 0 (only occur on end and start) we don't actually need to consider each day by itself.
You can use julianday to get the day as a number, however julian days start at noon so you'll need to subtract 0.5 to get the "actual" day for your calculation. Floor the ending day to avoid a to long span if the end time is later then the start time on each respective day, and round up the result to include partial days as a spanned day.
At this point we can calculate number of half days by checking the end and start. To get the number of full days we simply subtract the half days from the result.
with trip_spans as (
select
ceil(julianday(end_at)-0.5 - floor(julianday(started_at)-0.5)) day_span
, t.*
, (
iif(time(started_at) > time('12:00'), 1, 0)
+
iif(time(end_at) <= time('19:00'), 1, 0)
) half_days
from trip t
)
select
trip_spans.*
, day_span-half_days full_days
from trip_spans
So in my query, I simply need to narrow down the results by whoever's status was last updated 3 weeks ago.
The line:
AND DATE_ADD(user_status_updated, INTERVAL - 21 DAY)
returns the results as an interval from now and 21 days from now. I am only interested in the exact date 21 days ago, but cannot find the right function to use.
I am writing automatic emails and part of this project is to check daily for users that have been inactive for 3 weeks, so it will always be a matter of NOW() minus 21 days. But I don't want the interval, I want the exact 21 days ago since last updated results.
Ok I found my solution.
WHERE user_status_updated= DATE_SUB(DATE(NOW()), INTERVAL 21 DAY)
The user_status_updated is a DATETIME field
I have a query to retrieve a set of non null records from a column x consisting of DATE format.
If count(x) = 35 then i need to display the value as 1 Month & 5 days
If 369 days then 1 year & 4 days or If 400 days then 1 year 1 month 5 days respectively
Query: In the above instance,unfortunately i am neglecting 0.25 days but How to tweak my actual requirement in such a way that i don't end up neglecting days and handle leap year logic too
How to solve this issue?
it is not clear if you need of a time's generic computing in years, months and days, based on averages of number of days of a month, etc.. or if you want an exact compute of the number of the months that pass starting froma adate.. for example if your total sum of 400 days start from 15 march, then the month is counted by 1 after, let's say, 15 days, and so the remaining days are 20.. I don't know if I explained..
In the first hypotesis, you may use the following pseudo-coded solution, that is a very approximative method..
however, if you know a start date, it is possible to compute exactly how many "bissextile" days are comprehended between your interval of days starting from your start date
let's say to have output variables Years, Months, Days .. and an input totalDaysdays assigned with your data retrieved from the db, then:
(pseudocode)
Years = trunc((totalDays / 365)
bissextileDays = trunc((totalDays / 365) / 4)
numDaysOffset = (totalDays Mod 365) + bissextileDays
Months = trunc(numDaysOffset / 30)
Days = numDaysOffset Mod 30
Actually i found something that will suit my requirement.
https://community.oracle.com/thread/2587161?start=0&tstart=0
select days,
floor(days / 365.25) years,
floor(mod(days,365.25) / (365.25 / 12)) months,
round(mod(days,365.25 / 12)) days
from periods
So this can produce expected output when number is given. This produces output as years,months and remaining days
I've been working on this for a while and trying different styles... I need to develop a tracking spreadsheet (for 50 employees) that will calculate accruing vacation time and vacation time used based on the following parameters:
*Employees who have worked less than 3 years but past the 90 day anniversary with the company (at which they start accruing) (there is one more caveat on this... the accrual day is the 1st of the month of the month past the 90 days)[I figured this 90 day item out on my excel sheet] it will accrue at:
- 4 hours a month, at the end of the month, with a MAX cap of 72 hours that they can have stored (but if they use vacation time and fall below the 72 hours they can continue to accrue again up to 72 hours...)
*Employees who have worked more than 3 years but less than 6 years with the company carry over their prior vacation and begin to accrue from here onward at:
- 6.8 hours a month, at the end of the month, with a MAX cap of 122.4 hours that they can have stored (but if they use vacation time and fall below the 122.4 hours they can continue to accrue again up to 122.4 hours...)
*Employees 6 years and over with the company carry over their prior vacation and begin to accrue from here onward at:
- 10 hours a month, at the end of the month, with a MAX cap of 180 hours that they can have stored (but if they use vacation time and fall below the 180 hours they can continue to accrue again up to 180 hours....)
& yes, I need to be able to deduct vacation time used.
Does anyone have any suggestions for layout or for a formula that can do part of these functions? I appreciate any advice or suggestion on what else I can use!
I have created a test sheet, and was accruing based on these conditions for the first and started on the second set of rules (for years 3+).
However when I accrue to the max of 72 hours on the first policy, it no longer accrues correctly if they used vacation and fall under the 72 hours cap again.
I know this is a overcomplicated policy, but that is what the company wants and they will not budge.... Any help or advice is appreciated. I know my sheet isn't great.. but I'm trying options.
Below is the equation I used for the 90 day:
=IF(F2<TODAY()-90, F2+90, "90 Day Period")
Then to get the first day of the month after I used:
=IF(G2="90 Day Period","N/A",DATE(YEAR(G2),MONTH(G2)+1,1))
I tried using for the accrual of the first rule (but it has issues...):
=IF(N2="N/A","N/A",IF(N2<=36,MIN(72,((N2*4)-P2),72),(72-P2)))
For second rule:
=IF(AND(N2>36,N2<=72),MIN(122.4,((N2-36)*6.8)+Q2-S2),0)
Let
column A EmpName
column B EntryDate
Column C DaysSpent for the current month
Column D capped Accruel buffer at end of month
repeat Columns C and D month after month
example
01-Sep-2013 01-Oct-2013
EmpName EntryDate spent buffer spent buffer ... etc ...
.-------.-----------.-----------.------.-----------.------.
me 01-Jan-2010 0 12 0 18.8
you 01-Jun-2013 0 4 0 4
In order not to get spaghetti formulas I recommend to create some user defined functions in VBA, like
Function GetCap(EntryDate, ThisDate) As Single
Function GetMonthly(EntryDate, ThisDate) As Single
By experience it's easier to debug/maintain 2-3 nested If's or Select Case's in VBA than 92 character long formulas with no blanks, no comments etc. in the sheet. Should the business logic change, there's one code block to review - instead of dozens/hundreds of formula in a sheet that has grown for 3x12 months x 50 users.
The above functions may want the help of e.g.
Function EndOfMonth(MyDate) as Date
Function BeginOfNextMonth(MyDate) as Date
so that in the sheet you just
manually enter hours spent month after month
calculate new buffer as = MIN([oldbuffer] - [Spent] + GetMonthly(...), GetCap(...))
carefully use relative/absolute addressing to make the formula "copyable" across columns/rows, e.g.
row-absolute on ThisDate got from the header when copying downwards
column-absolute on EntryDate for each Emp when copying rightwards
You can of course use =GetCap(...) and =GetMonthly(...) directly in cells of your sheet to display intermediate results and for debugging purposes.
Be carefull when you compare dates
Tips:
3 years later is not always 365x3 days later
check what the VBA DateSerial() functions does for months > 12 and months < 0
the end of next month always is the first days of 2 months ahead minus 1 ... even in February of a leap year ggg
and post more questions if you get stuck on these functions.
I've periods of time every 15 days, MOM and EOM.
What I need to check is if a date value on a date field is prior to the current period minus 1.
For example, if today is 12/29, the period is 12/31, and i need to check
if prior < 12/15
How can i get the EOM (End Of Month, i mean, the last day of the month) and the MOM (Middle of month, it's like every 15th of month) with GETDATE() function without doing a DATEADD with -15 days (because in feb will be fail, and i don't care the month)
Any help or work around will be preciated.
Thanks
If you need the value 15 then put it in your code.
If that is against your company's policies then challenge the person that made that policy. Writing 5 lines of code to replace two characters is not a good coding...
If writing the 5 lines made your application much more flexible then maybe I could understand, but you are still "hard coding" 15 into your comparisons.
Thinking in a work around, what I did it was this:
If actual day < 15 then get the month actual, convert to the first day of the month (01) and minus 1 day. I get the last day of the prior month. (EOM - 1 period)
If actual day > 15, then the prior period (MOM - 1 period) is: 15 of actual month.
It's a query with if structure.
If someone has a better answer, please answer it and I'll be accept it.
Thanks :)
