Working hours considering overlap times
Anonymous
OK, so the real working hours would be the sum of (End_Time - Start_Time) for all activities per user and day, correct?
do you have data on several days? (I guess so)
Can you show the structure of the tables in your model (in yo do not share the pbix)?
Sorry for the delay, I was out of office on friday.
Responding to your questions:

- Correct, but the problem that I have is that if one person performs 2 or more tasks durning the same (or part of the) time, I should only consider the amount of time once, but sum the total SKU's processed.
do you have data on several days? (I guess so)
- Yes i do, usually I work this data on Excel on periods of 5 days (weekly data) or 20-22 days (monthly data)
Can you show the structure of the tables in your model (in yo do not share the pbix)?
I tried to make something on power BI but it ended being pretty messy, here is part of the raw data extracted from the data base:
| TASK_ID | START_DATE | END_DATE | SKU | UNITS | USER |
| TASK1 | 07-12-2018 14:17 | 07-12-2018 14:58 | 2 | 3 | USER1 |
| TASK2 | 07-12-2018 14:24 | 07-12-2018 14:41 | 2 | 2 | USER1 |
| TASK3 | 07-12-2018 14:25 | 07-12-2018 14:43 | 1 | 8 | USER1 |
| TASK4 | 07-12-2018 14:25 | 07-12-2018 14:35 | 1 | 1 | USER2 |
| TASK5 | 07-12-2018 14:28 | 07-12-2018 14:35 | 1 | 1 | USER3 |
| TASK6 | 07-12-2018 14:30 | 07-12-2018 14:32 | 2 | 2 | USER4 |
| TASK7 | 07-12-2018 14:30 | 07-12-2018 14:49 | 2 | 2 | USER5 |
| TASK8 | 07-12-2018 14:40 | 07-12-2018 14:52 | 2 | 5 | USER2 |
| TASK9 | 07-12-2018 14:45 | 07-12-2018 14:59 | 2 | 2 | USER1 |
| TASK10 | 07-12-2018 14:49 | 07-12-2018 15:01 | 1 | 1 | USER3 |
| TASK11 | 07-12-2018 14:49 | 07-12-2018 15:35 | 1 | 1 | USER5 |
For example, for task 1, 2, 3 and 9 they were done by the same "USER1",
therefore i should add the total amount of time worked (end - start date) but without the overlaps. which would be 14:59 - 14:17 = 42 minutes.
Besides, in total he worked over 7 SKU's, so the productivity would be 7 / 42 (skus/min) -> 10 sku's per hour
On the other side, for USER2, he did 2 tasks without any overlap, so the total time would be the sum of the working hours.
And therefore the productivity would be: (1+2) /( (14:52 - 14:40) + (14:35 - 14:25))
Once again thank you for your help!

Ok, I think I get it. Could you post some more data including more than one day?
- Anonymous7 years agoNot applicable
I already found a way to consider only times between working hours (09:00 - 12:00 and 13:15 - 17:15) but I am missing the part on how to consider time without the overlaps.
Once again thank you for your help!
