Problem with Time

[Stuart Taylor]

I'm having a little problem completing a graphic interface

I have a start time and end time

The graphic displays the start and end time

I have managed to display the hours ... but want to refine it to the quarter hour.

i have managed to work out a way of doing it (by hard coding the results 0 to 4 (x:00=0, x:15=2, x:30=3, x:45=4)... but can not get my calc to work. (notes in calculation)

I will further refine it by changing the calc by rounding the minutes to the quarter hour after resolving this.

I would also like to put the left and right graphic on either end of the time block ... but will tackle this afterwards

Any help would be great ... i think that i can not see the wood for the trees.

Oh and if you can see an even simpler way of achieving this im all ears.

Something like this?

Let ( [

s = Round ( Extend ( Start_Time ) / 900 ; 0 ) ;

e = Round ( Extend ( End_Time ) / 900 ; 0 ) ;

i = Get ( CalculationRepetitionNumber ) - 1

] ;

GetRepetition ( Graphics ; 1 + ( i ≥ s ) + ( i ≥ e ) )

)

Hi Comment,

This is really, really good.

I will modify it a little for my purposes.

I have not really dealt with time very often and had never considered handling dates as numerical values.

This is really going to make my life alot easier.

Thanks again,

Stuart

:thankyou:

I couldn't test this, but I noticed a small 'bug' - hopefully fixed now.
