TIMERANGE function

Can we have a TIMERANGE function similar to the DATERANGE function?  This would be useful when graphing from data sources that skip entries where the data value is 0, such as a SQL query.

    Hi Howard, that's a very interesting suggestion. Please feel free to request this capability in Idea Submissions.

    Thanks,

    Hi Howard,

    You asked about a TIMERANGE function a while ago, so I don't know if you still need it, but here's a formula I just developed to generate time ranges. (It's useful in chart x-axes.)

    You can hard-code the starting and ending times and the interval length, or you can hide them in table columns, as in this example.

    And here's the code:

    DATEVALUE(
    // Set up an array with values running from zero to the total number of time intervals needed
    (
    CUMULATIVE(
    REPEAT(
    1,
    CEILING(
    // Calculate the total number of time intervals needed by dividing
    // the number of seconds in the range
    (DATE(!Column: Ending Time,"HH:mm")-DATE(!Column: Starting Time,"HH:mm"))
    /
    // by the number of seconds in each interval
    (!Column: Time Interval (in minutes)*60)
    )
    +
    // Add one to the total to cover both the starting time and the ending time
    1
    )
    )
    -
    // Subtract one from each value so that the array starts at zero
    REPEAT(
    1,
    (
    CEILING(
    (DATE(!Column: Ending Time,"HH:mm")-DATE(!Column: Starting Time,"HH:mm"))
    /
    (!Column: Time Interval (in minutes)'*60)
    )
    +
    1
    )
    )
    )
    *
    // Multiply by the number of seconds in each increment
    60*!Column: Time Interval (in minutes)
    +
    // Add the number of seconds from midnight to the first time interval
    DATE(!Column: Starting Time,"HH:mm"),
    // Format the range as times
    "HH:mm"
    )

    I would like calculate a number of days between  future date with today.

    I am use:

    COUNT_DAYS(@Resumo,E5;,NOW()) and the result is 19,043

    or use

    COUNT_DAYS(&Column: Término de contrato,NOW()) and result is 18,754

     

    I know the correct result is 125 because today is 02/20/2022 and my future data is 06/25/2022.

     

    How is the best formula?
