“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” [Mark Twain]
Name
sbTimeDiff() - Calculate time between two time points but count only time as specified for week days and for holidays subtracted by break times if working time exceeds specified time.
Synopsis
sbTimeDiff(dtFrom, dtTo, vwh [, vHolidays] [, vBreaks])
Description
Calculate time between two time points but count only time as specified for week days and for holidays subtracted by break times if given for specified working time.
Options
dtFrom - Datetime to count from
dtTo - Datetime to count to
vwh - 8 by 2 matrix defining start time and end time for each weekday and for holidays, first row for Mondays, 8th row for holidays
vHolidays - Optional. List of holidays (integer datetime). If a day is in the holiday list its time will not be counted for any weekday - just for the time defined in row 8 of parameter vwh
vBreaks - Optional. N x 2 matrix specifying working time (sorted in ascending order) and break time to subtract if corresponding time for a day has been worked
Example
See also
sbTimeAdd - Add positive hours to a timepoint but count only time as specified for week days and for holidays increased by break time if working time exceeds specified time.

Function sbTimeDiff(dtFrom As Date, dtTo As Date, _

Optional vHolidays As Variant, _
Optional vBreaks As Variant) As Date
'Returns time between dtFrom and dtTo but counts only
'dates and hours given in table vwh: for example
'09:00 17:00 'Monday
'09:00 17:00 'Tuesday
'09:00 17:00 'Wednesday
'09:00 17:00 'Thursday

'00:00 00:00 'Saturday
'00:00 00:00 'Sunday
'00:00 00:00 'Holidays
'This table defines hours to count for each day of the
'week (starting with Monday, 2 columns) and for holidays.
'Holidays given in vHolidays overrule week days.
'If you define a break table with break limits greater zero
'then the duration of each break exceeding the applicable
'time for this day will be subtracted from each day's time,
'but only down to the limit time, table needs to be sorted
'by limits in increasing order:
'Break table example
'Limit Duration (title row is not part of the table)
'6:00 0:30
'9:00 0:15
