Rolling Up Time Stamps into Hours

Previous Member

Greetings!

 

My problem is this, I need to be able to track the number of records being entered into our system by Day and Hours. 

 

I currently am loading a cube from SQL that contains a Date/Time Stamp field.  I am cubing off the Date by Day but need a way to delimit the Time Stamp and find a way to roll up these times into groups by hour. 

 

Is this something that I can do within an Data Reader ETL protocol?  Or is there Nexel function that can calculate the hour?

 

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

did you had a look on our changes to log files? Maybe the DataEntry.Log https://community.board.com/docs/DOC-1109-board-engine-logs-in-detail#jive_content_id_33_Dataentry_Log ; will help you with your request

Hello

I have an applicatio that can inspire you:

I need to calculate the connection time between login-logouts

 

I load a string with datehour into a date cube, see my picture. It's correctly stored into the cube

Then through a layout I calculate the connection time. see the BQuery below

 

hope this helps

 

 

Show "Aux Login Events"      
Show "Aux Logout Events"   
Show "if(or(b=0,a=0),0,b-a)" Heading "Time Days"; dec 3; ShowZeros
Show "if(c<0,0,c*24)" Heading "Time Hours"; dec 2

Thank you Daniele Di Lorenzo!

 

I actually found a similar solution through a similar ETL function as you can see in my screen shot below:

This allowed me to convert any time stamp into the military time hour of the day:

Thank you for the help!
