datediff formula with multiple criteria not pulling proper data
I am trying to create a column that pulls downtime minutes between 2 dates excluding hours or non-ooperation 9PM to 5AM. If the downtime minutes fall between the exclude hours they should probably be set to 0. This is what I have so far on the formula but much of the results are incorrect.
WorkingDowntimeMinutes =
IF (
(
EventLog[startdatetime] >= HOUR ( 5 )
|| EventLog[StartTime] <= HOUR ( 21 )
)
&& (
EventLog[stopdatetime] >= HOUR ( 5 )
|| EventLog[stopdatetime] <= HOUR ( 21 )
),
DATEDIFF ( EventLog[startdatetime], EventLog[stopdatetime], MINUTE )
)Any ideas where I am going wrong and how to add an else for the 0?
Thanks,
Mike
I got this from Experts-Exchange and it worked.
IF ( HOUR(EventLog[startdatetime]) >= 5 , EventLog[DowntimeMinutes], 0 )

Okay, I am really not understanding this. I made this a bit simpler but still no proper results.
test = IF ( EventLog[startdatetime] >= HOUR ( 5 ), EventLog[DowntimeMinutes], 0 )
If I set ">=" then I get DownTimeMinutes but no "0" results. If i change to "<=" then I get all "0" but no DownTimeMinutes
I would expect the hilighted row to show "0" because the time is before 5 AM.
