Having Trouble Figuring the Average Turnaround Time
Hi, several weeks ago EylesIT helped me big time by solving for me the calculation of the time difference between the completion of one task in our files to the completion of a second task in our file.
Now, I'd like to solve for the average time for each task category.
I'll try and lay it out to help you understand it better.
- We're an insurance agency with one file for each property.
- Each file has multiple tasks that have to be completed.
- Each task has a "completed/received date" in the database.
- Therefore, each file will have multiple completed/received dates.
What EylesIT helped with was figuring the time difference out, by using a series of measures, shown here:
Completed-AdvOrdEnt =
What I'm trying to do is take the sum of the second measure, where it's calculating the datediff in seconds, and then divide it by the number of specific task completions during the time period I'm looking at. I've tried several different things and can't get anything to work.

Each file has multiple tasks and each task has it's own completion date/time.
The first page has two tables, measuring different timeframes. Both, show that data in DHMS format in the last or second to last column on the right. The measurement at the top (from the time we opened/created the file to the time our first task was completed) has additional visuals next to the table, showing the total time, for each file that meets the criteria in the table, in seconds...summed. There's another visual there with the count of the order numbers, for each file that meets the criteria in the table. If I just did the math, I'd divide the 249,363 by 233 and come up with 1,070 seconds as the average. It just doesn't seem to be as easy as that.
The second measurement is from the completion of the first task to the completion of the second task. I'd like to do the same thing...get the total time it took to complete all of the tasks for the files shown and divide by the number of files involved in this measurement to get the average.
The second page shows some averages I have calculated, but they are from the beginning of the file til the end of a certain task, and other than that first calculation, that's not what I'm trying to get.
You may want to get your data model in order first.
what's the meaning of thr Event and SettlementCalendar tables? Can they be folder into the Calendar table?
Thanks. I just deleted those two. We were using them at all.
