I am trying to calculate a sum where certain Time criteria are met. My date column STime is stored in a HH:MM format (13:15, 17:25, etc.).
I have a variable, vCurrentTime, in the same format, calculated as:
TIME(NOW(), 'HH:MM')
Here is what my data looks like:
Person STime Points
Alex 15:00 10
Brandon 11:50 8
Carlos 16:04 12
Denise 13:25 4
Elise 16:09 30
Felicia 17:50 31
George 18:00 35
I'd like to sum the Points column in all instances where STime is less than vCurrentTime, or at the time of posting this question, about 14:45.
Only 2 rows meet that criteria (Brandon and Denise), so my desired output would be 12 (4+8).
The set analysis I'm using below has been returning 0:
SUM({$<STime = {"<=$(=$(vCurrentTime))"}>}Points)
As you can see from the screenshot below there is difference in the time based on the format:
TIME(NOW(), 'hh:mm')
- returns the correct system time (20:04)TIME(NOW(), 'HH:MM')
- returns the correct hour but the minutes are wrong.The difference between mm
and MM
is that mm
is describing the minutes of the hour and MM
is the month of the year (thats why the "minutes" are 12 aka December)
Once this is in place the expression seems to work ok in my case
Person
as dimension and copy/paste the expression that is in the question. As you can see TEST
record is not present because its STime
is 21:00
and the current time is 20:04
sum(Points)
without any set analysis
