Hi

I have a ticket resolution data as shown below. I would need this data to monitor my SLA compliance.

I have a few set of conditions, which I would want to build into my time elapsed formula -
1. If the ticket assigned date is before 8.30 AM that day (i.e. for example Ticket 3 was assigned at 00:31) the formula should consider assigned time by default as 8.30 AM on that day itself. In my ticket 3 example, the new assigned date would be 14-09-2017 08:30. Time elapsed should be calculated using this date and time.

2. If the ticket assigned date is after 5.30 PM that day (i.e. Ticket 1 in my example) the formula should consider assigned time by default as 8.30 AM on the next working day. In my ticket 1 example, the new assigned date would be 04-08-2017 08:30. Suppose the next day is a weekend (Sat and Sun are weekends) then new date would be 06-08-2017 08:30.

3. When calculating Time elapsed (both acknowledged and resolved) it would need the unit to be in HH:MM format.

4. The time elapsed should be calculated after removing the weekends and non business hours, if any. i.e in Ticket 2 example, the assigned date (04-08-2017) is a Friday and the Acknowledged and Resolved dates are Monday and Wednesday respectively. So time elapsed in this case should be the hours between these dates after removing the weekends and non-business hours within the week days.

Business Hours are - 8.30 AM to 5.30 PM and Business days are Monday to Friday.

This would be a typical support call scenario for calculating SLAs.
I had tried accounting for the business hours by the below logic.

But when taking the elapsed time using the newly derived assigned dates, excel only calculates difference between these dates with an assumption that both times are in a single day. I guess excel does not look into the difference in dates. Also I am not sure how I can account for the weekends in the above logic.

Would be really helpful if some one could suggest some logic to calculate the elapsed time incorporating for my conditions.

Thanks.
