I would like to be able to copy the total "Time Spent" from a Task on the Time sheet to the Task "Actual" field. This way I can use the Time Sheet to enter the time I've spent on a task and see the value (in the form of the "Actual" column) on the Team Status page. Suggestions the best way to tackle this? I'm new to the Rally APIs so not sure where to start.
The Time Spent field only exists on the Task Detail Page. It is not actually stored in the on the object and thus not returned in the WSAPI. If you wanted to update the Actual value for a task you would have to sum up the hours field on the TimeEntryValue.
My recommendation would be to use a fetch that looks something like
fetch="Hours,TimeEntryItem,Task"
That would give you everything you need in one query.

I am building an event reminder page where people can set a reminder for certain events. There is an option for the user to set the amount of time before they need to be notified. It is stored in notification_time and notification_unit. notification_time keeps track of the time before they want to be notified and notification_unit keeps track of the PHP date format in which they selected the time, eg. i for minutes, H for hours.
Eg. notification_time - 2 and notification_unit - H means they need to be notified 2 hours before.
I have Cron jobs running in the background for handling the notification. This function is being hit once every minute.
Reminder::where(function ($query) {
$query->where('event_time', '>=', now()->subMinutes(Carbon::createFromFormat('i', 60)->diffInMinutes() - 1)->format('H:i:s'));
$query->where('event_time', '<=', now()->subMinutes(Carbon::createFromFormat('i', 60)->diffInMinutes())->format('H:i:s'));
})
In this function, I am hard coding the 'i', 60 while it should be fetched from the database. event_time is also part of the same table
The table looks something like this -
id event_time ... notification_unit notification_time created_at updated_at
Is there any way to solve this issue? Is it possible to do the same logic with SQL instead?
A direct answer to this question is not possible. I found 2 ways to resolve my issue.
First solution
Mysql has DATEDIFF and DATE_SUB to get timestamp difference and subtract certain intervals from a timestamp. In my case, the function runs every minute. To use them, I have to refactor my database to store the time and unit in seconds in the database. Then do the calculation. I chose not to use this way because both operations are a bit heavy on the server-side since I am running the function every minute.
Second Solution
This is the solution that I personally did in my case. Here I did the calculations while storing it in the database. Meaning? Let me explain. I created a new table notification_settings which is linked to the reminder (one-one relation). The table looks like this
id, unit, time, notify_at, repeating, created_at, updated_at
The unit and time columns are only used while displaying the reminder. What I did is, I calculated when to be notified in the notify_at column. So in the event scheduler, I need to check for the reminders at present (since I am running it every minute). The repeating column is there to keep track of whether the reminder is repeating or not. If it is repeating I re-calculate the notify_at column at the time of scheduling. Once the user is notified notify_at is set to null.
I am trying to get a date difference to determine cycle time of when something arrives to completion. However, I need the product to count towards cycle time average for all days it is here. So, something along the lines if arrivdate='8/16' but completiondate='8/24', I need for the cycle time for this product to be 1 on '8/17', 2 on '8/18', etc until it is 8 on '8/24' and then stops counting. I am willing to do it in either Excel or SQL, if there is a fast way to do it. Below is an example of the data in an Excel sheet

Does this suit?
If I understand your question properly this simple formula should work. You can replace the 0 with "" to leave it blank
I have a particular data set that consists of information for projects our company works on. Each project can go through five different statuses and we have a column that records each date the project is put into that particular status.
Now for the Excel part. We are trying to calculate the days in each status and find the total project time. The total is easy to do, because I can use network days between the project submitted date and the project go live date. The statuses, however, are giving me issues because sometimes a project will skip a status, leaving the date field empty. So what happens is a project goes from status B to status D, the formula for days in status "B" look for a date in column "C" to use as the second date in a NETWORKDAYS formula. When it is empty, the IF argument tells the formula to use TODAY() as the second date. What I need it to do is the search the columns to the right (within the given range of A:E for that row) and use that date if it exists. If not, then it can default to TODAY() because this would be an "active" project that has not moved on.
=IF(IF(OR([#STALLED]<>"",[#CANCELED]<>""),"",IF([#INTAKEDATE]="","",IF([#SCOPEATE]="",NETWORKDAYS([#INTAKEDATE],TODAY()),(NETWORKDAYS([#STATUSADATE],[#SCOPEATE])))))<0,"",(IF(OR([#STALLED]<>"",[#CANCELED]<>""),"",IF([#INTAKEDATE]="","",IF([#SCOPEATE]="",NETWORKDAYS([#INTAKEDATE],TODAY()),(NETWORKDAYS([#STATUSADATE],[#SCOPEATE])))))))
This is done for each of the statuses so the table looks something like this:
PROJECTID PROJECTNAME INTAKEDATE SCOPEATE BUILDDATE TESTDATE GOLIVEDATE INTAKEDAYS SCOPEDAYS BUILDDAYS TESTDAYS
If there is any Macro or better formula someone could help me figure out, I'd appreciate it. There is also another field that gives the current status or if the project is considered live if that helps at all. I have excel-block right now and cant think of anything that makes sense for this.
So I figured it out using MIN and by adjusting the IF formulas a bit. Whoever it was that posted about MAX earlier, really helped me out getting me down this path. Kudos to you sir/madam.
I had to add the check to see if SCOPEDATE=BUILDDATE because without that it was returning 1 if the dates matched, with was adding one more day when compared to running the networkdays from INTAKEDATE to GOLIVEDATE.
=IF(OR([#STALLED]<>"",[#CANCELED]<>""),"",
IF([#SCOPEDATE]="","",
IF([#SCOPEDATE]=[#BUILDDATE],0,
IF(NETWORKDAYS([#SCOPEDATE],(MIN([#BUILDDATE],[#TESTDATE],[#GOLIVEDATE])))<0,NETWORKDAYS([#SCOPEDATE],TODAY()),NETWORKDAYS([#SCOPEDATE],(MIN([#BUILDDATE],[#TESTDATE],[#GOLIVEDATE])))))))
I hope this is helpful for someone else.
At my workplace there is a "Daily Feedback" database where details are entered of any errors made by Customer Service Officers (CSOs), such as who made the mistake, when, and what service it was for. this is so we can gather data which would show areas where CSO's are repeatedly making mistakes so we can feed this back to them and train them in those areas if need be.
i currently have a report where an CSOs name is entered along with a date range and it produces the report showing the number of errors made for each service for that date range.
the code used is -
=Sum(IIf([Service]="Housing",1,0))
=Sum(IIf([Service]="Environmental Health",1,0))
etc etc for each Service.
The problem i have is that not every CSO does EVERY service and so there are usually a few results showing as "0". and i cannot be sure if thats because they dont do the service or if they are just very good at that service.
Being absolutely useless at SQL (or any other possible way of fixing this) i cannot figure out how to HIDE the entries that produce the zero value.
any help here would be greatly appreciated!
Assuming you have a table with the fields CSO, Service, FeedbackComments you could modify the report record source to
SELECT [CSO], [Service], Count([FeedbackComments])
FROM [FeedbackTable]
GROUP BY [CSO], [Service];
Then services which have no records will not appear on the report.
I don't understand exactly what you want. But I want to mention you can use the COUNT() function along with SUM(). A count >0 will reveal if 0 means '0' instances or '0' errors.
Im making a simple booking system for our projectors at work.
Here is the scenario. Each projectors can have its availability set to quarter hour segments throughout the entire day. i.e projector 1 is available between 8:15am - 1:45pm and 3pm-5:15pm each day (can also be changed to have different availabilities set for each day). A projector can be booked for anytime time segment during the day as long as it is available. So ive got that setup in my sql database (with my asp.net mvc front end).
The question i have is what is the best way to search on this scenario. i.e. UserA comes in and says find me the projectors that are available this friday between 12pm-3pm. Im struggling to write an efficient sql query that will filter this. My best option so far is to pull back all projectors and than programatically work out if they are available and not booked between this time. It works but it is incredibly inefficient. I stumbled an idea of using a temp table generated by a stored proc that can than be filtered but it isnt quite there.
Has anyone got any ideas how i could approach this?
Thanks in advance
I would probably have a table called ProjectorReservations which contained a start time and end time (amongst other fields you might care about i.e. who is renting the projector).
Searching a projector would look something like this:
SELECT projectorName
FROM Projectors
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT 1 FROM ProjectorReservations
WHERE Projectors.projectorName = ProjectorReservations.projectorName
AND (ProjectorReservations.startTime < {end_time}
OR ProjectorReservations.endTime > {start_time}))
That pretty much checks to make sure no reservations start before the one you are looking for ends and vice versa. Obviously you will need to swap in your fields accordingly but that should give you the general idea
