Formula for Days Late

system · January 6, 2005, 12:49pm

Specific to the BAQ, this should work, or get you close.

I would try (TRUNCATE((date1 - date2)/7,0)*5) + ((date1 - date2) MODULO 7).

Logic is give the integer number of weeks late * 5 days in a week, + the
remainder after dividing the latedays by 7.
It won't be exact, but it should be close anyway.

Good luck,

Subject: [Vantage] Formula for Days Late

I have a Query showing days late on our jobs. The problem is that
it includes the weekends. I would like to see days late based on a
regular workweek Mon-Fri. Thus reducing a Monday being 3 days late
to 1 day if it was due Friday.

Does anyone know how to code this?

Thanks!
Ben

If you are doing your report in Access here is a possible solution:

Public Function DateDiffW(BegDate, EndDate)
Const SUNDAY = 1
Const SATURDAY = 7
Dim NumWeeks As Integer

If BegDate > EndDate Then
DateDiffW = 0
Else
Select Case WeekDay(BegDate)
Case SUNDAY: BegDate = BegDate + 1
Case SATURDAY: BegDate = BegDate + 2
End Select
Select Case WeekDay(EndDate)
Case SUNDAY: EndDate = EndDate - 2
Case SATURDAY: EndDate = EndDate - 1
End Select
NumWeeks = DateDiff("ww", BegDate, EndDate)
DateDiffW = NumWeeks * 5 + WeekDay(EndDate) - WeekDay(BegDate)
End If
End Function
