    Question Device downtime calculation during performance measure hours

    Hello,
    I am trying to find a way to calculate our devices downtime during our performance measures hours for each month. As of now i take each shift, each day for the entire month and i add up the downtime. I would like to use a formula to make that easier. Example:

    Our PM hours are Monday-Friday 5am-9pm. We have 3 Shifts: 1st-6a-2p, 2nd-2p-10p and 3rd- 10p-6a.
    If a devices goes out on Monday at 3am and comes back into service on Wednesday at 4 pm it would have a downtime total of 43 hours, see below.

    Each shift has a set amount of hours a devices is under performance measures: 1st- 8 hours, 2nd- 7 hours and 3rd- 1 hour (if the device is down for the entire shift)

    Monday: devices goes out on 3rd shift (10p-6am) at 3am, PM start at 5am so 1 hour Monday for 3rd shift. 2nd shift (6a-2p) devices is down entire shift so 8 hours (9 hours so far) 2nd shift (2p-10p) PM stop at 9 pm so 2p-9p will be 7 hour. This will repeat for Tuesday as well.
    Wedensday- still 1 hour for 3rd shift, 8 hours for 1st shift but it comes back in at 4p on 2nd shift so 2-4p will be 2 hours for a total of 43 hours down.

    Now here's the hard part (for me): we have a shift change log for each shift to keep track of the devices OOS, at the end of the month i go through each shift to find how long each device is out for. Is there a way to have excel keep track of each device for an entire month? or for the length of time it is OOS? If i could have it just calculate for each shift that's fine i can add them up at the end of the month, what i'm trying to avoid is having to count each hour for each shift so id like a formula that will total it all for me and i can just add the totals together.

    .
    If you include the date along with the time, excel can keep track of the hours. Use 24 hr time format.

    By the way, your cameras caught me a few years ago. Well, not really caught ... I received a bill for the toll. Neat.

    Attached, Logit's method is modeled (I believe). The 'Out' and 'In' cells are filled with date and time, although they are formatted to only show the time.
    The 'Total' cells are populated using: =IF(F9="",0,MIN(G9,V$4)-MAX(F9,V$3))
    V3:V4 are populated with the start and end date and time for the PM of that shift. I did it this way so that if the PM time changes in the future you would only need to change the time in V3/V4 and not have to change the formula.
    To get a total for a month you could put the 'Total' for each device on each sheet in the same cell. For example the 'Total' for 1.1EW would be in cell H9 on each sheet. This requires all MVDS devices be listed in column E, with columns F:G only being populated if there an outage.
    As modeled on the November 2018 sheet the total for the month is obtained using: =SUM('11-4-2018 6a-2pm:11-5-2018 6am-2pm'!H9)

    This is perfect, only draw back, when i enter a time into the "in" section it gives me an invalid format. How would i be able to enter the time the device came back into service?

    Re: Device downtime calculation during performance measure hours

    I can't replicate the issue. On the 11-4-2018 6a-2pm sheet I entered the following into cell G9: 11/4/18 8:00
    (Notice the space between the date and time.)
    After pressing enter the cell displays 8:00 and the formula bar reads 11/4/2018 8:00:00 AM
    Also cell H9 displays 2:00 and cell B2 on the November 2018 sheet displays 17:00 (both expected)
    We may be able to help if you can tell us what you entered and where.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
