Job Progress Report Calcs

Maybe I don't understand what your asking. Are you asking if
changing the date 01/07/2001 is necessary? Shouldn't be. 01/07/2001
is a base week beginning date that should be OK from now on.

Am I missing your point?

I have a few challenging calculations that I'm having trouble with. In report builder I have a Job Progress report. This report lists all open jobs and their hours. The report also lists total actual worked hours per job, total estimated hours per job, and how many hours that we have left on the job.

Okay, here's the challenge...............in addition to showing the total hours I need to create two calculations:

1. show total hours worked on each job for the past week
2. show how many weeks that we have left on the job according to the requested due date

Any ideas? Anyone...........anyone........

Here goes ....

#1 - You need to determine what the last week's begin and end dates
were. I tried the below and it worked.

LastWeekBegin = 01/07/2001 + (7 * integer((today() - 01/07/2001) /
7)) - 7
LastWeekEnd = LastWeekBegin + 6.

I picked a date, 01/07/2001, corresponding to beginning of a work
week (sunday). More info needed on your report setup to be exact,
but in general create a calculated field (bucket) something like...

iif(labordtl.payrolldate >= LastWeekBegin and labordtl.payrolldate <=
LastWeekEnd,labordtl.laborhrs,0).

then create an aggregate on the bucket at a labordtl grouping level
that resets on a jobnum grouping.

#2 - I would first get days remaining, DaysRem = today() -
jobhead.duedate. Then WeeksRem = DaysRem / 7.

#2 worked perfectly!

But for #1 is there a way I can say take "Monday - Sunday" labor hours on that job without giving an exact date, just inputting the words "Monday, Sunday"? That way I wouldn't have to go in every week and adjust the dates for this calculation.

I'm probably asking for heaven and earth (as is usually asked of me at work) but is it possible?

LastWeekBegin = 01/07/2001 + (7 * integer((today() - 01/07/2001) /

LastWeekEnd = LastWeekBegin + 6.

I picked a date, 01/07/2001, corresponding to beginning of a work

but in general create a calculated field (bucket) something like...

iif(labordtl.payrolldate >= LastWeekBegin and labordtl.payrolldate <=
LastWeekEnd,labordtl.laborhrs,0).

then create an aggregate on the bucket at a labordtl grouping level
that resets on a jobnum grouping.

#2 - I would first get days remaining, DaysRem = today() -
jobhead.duedate. Then WeeksRem = DaysRem / 7.

Oops..

Amend for #2

I said "#2 - I would first get days remaining, DaysRem = today() -
jobhead.duedate. Then WeeksRem = DaysRem / 7."

Have to use absolute value function.

DaysRem = absolute(today() - jobhead.duedate)
