Calculating Task Completion Time
I am looking for a way to capture how long it takes a user to create a record.
Does TrackVia stamp when a Form is opened? If so, then I can use this value in a datedif formula against the record Create Date/Time to see how long it took to open the form, key in the information, and click Save.4 votes -

Count working hours
I need to count working hours in the range defined by "Start" and "End" fields. Both fields are Date and Time format. The working day lasts from 7 AM till 3:30 PM. I need to count time only from this range. Overtime and weekends should not be included. I can start and end work any day at any time.
weekdays() function counts only days, datedif() function includes all 24 hours and weekends.
Any ideas?3 votes -
Auotnumber and Text in calculated text
Can anyone please explain why this calculated text field formula works when Historic Order Number has a value but not when it's blank. I'm guessing it's something to do with the fact that Historic Order number is a text field whereas Order Number is an autonumber, however I can't find a to string function.
IF({Factory}="Toplink", "TLKNZ", IF({Factory}="Playmore", "PKNZ", IF({Factory}="Colaro", "CKNZ", IF({Factory}="Vithal", "VKNZ", "")))) & IF({Historic Order Number}="", {Order Number}, {Historic Order Number})

Is it possible to add comments when writing a long formula?
In most languages you can add comments that does not affect the code or formula. Out of habit I tried to use ' but that didn't seem to work. Does trackvia allow for this kind of thing and if so what is the symbol or text?
E.g.
If({Field} = 1, A + B, A + C)

How do I calculate the sum of a column so that I can then use that to determine the percentage of the total for a given value?
For example I want to show the percentage of total sales by store, salesperson etc.
Everything I have tried so far just returns 100% as it is only doing the calculation on a row by row basis rather than using the column total.1 vote -

sum a specific column when the child record is in a specific location
I have a table where users can select a parent record in more than one location. For example, a child table, "work order" contains both "Service 1", and "Service 2" links to the "services" table. Each linked service has an associated quantity column in the "work order" table. I have tried using the sum function in the "services" table to sum the total services entered but when I sum the "service 1 quantity" all of the values in that column are added regardless of whether the service was a parent record in the "service 1" link or in the "service…

This is what I am trying to do:
if(and(isBlank({Handover Commit Month}),isBlank({Projected Handover KPI})),dateadd({BD - TECH HO},182,"d"),{Projected Handover KPI},{Handover Commit Month})I want to say if Handover Commit is blank then use…

IsBlank function not working for Parent fields
Running into an issue using the isBlank function on a parent linked field. The field is blank (Verified using the quick filters on the view), but the formula returns the result as if the field had data. This is the same issue that is described in this post: "Invisible Characters in Link-To-Parent Fields??".
Example: if(isBlank({Field Name}),"Blank","Not Blank") will return "Not Blank" even through the field appears to be blank.

Is it possible to sum the contents of a parent table with the contents of the child table?
I've been building a working project application using a number of parent and child tables.
Some of the parent views carry rate card values for specific services and these are displayed within the child view when selected. There are ad hoc services in the child table with free currency fields for varying prices.
Is it possible to create a calculated field to sum the total the free currency fields, with the rate card parent fields to autogenerate a total order value per project?
