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})

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.

Returning Value based on date being between two dates
I am trying to produce a formula to calculating carbon emissions factors.
When inputting a new meter record I need the date to return a value if it is between two dates.
I then need that value to be multiplied by the new meter value.
For this to work I presume I am going to need to set up another table with all of the dates and values I want to be returned. But how do I lay the table out?
Do I do a start date and end date? Month on Month?Really need some help on the formula…

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.

Max Function and Dates
I have a max function that returns the "highest", or most recent, date. However, what gets returned is the max date minus 1 day.
For example, the highest date is 4/20/2014. But 4/19/2014 is returned.
Is this a bug? Or how can I fix it?
