Hello Everyone,

Could some genius please help me with formula or ways to find a daily occupancy rate of car park in hourly bases based on transaction of “Date Time IN” and “Date Time OUT”. ?

Below are the actual sample of transaction we receive.

Note: Drivers can park for more than a day as well.

Re: How to calculate Car Park Occupancy rate - Help !!!

I think you will be there a while to say x number of cars were there between two times. Its not possible unless they are only allowed in on the hour and have to leave at 59 minutes past the hour. You could work out an average i suppose but the average would be an average of moments in time within the interval.

you might be right, but i'm not giving up just yet

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

Re: How to calculate Car Park Occupancy rate - Help !!!

Ill put this to you. If i was to ask the question 'how many cars are there in the car park next week' you would think i had gone mad. It makes no sense. Next week is a time interval just the same as these hourly ones. They make no sense either.

Re: How to calculate Car Park Occupancy rate - Help !!!

but it's not a prediction for future, is it? At least I hope it isn't.

just a data analysis based on past record.

Re: How to calculate Car Park Occupancy rate - Help !!!

Ok 'how many cars were there in the car park last week'. Still makes no sense. Its a question that cant be answered is what im trying to say.

well, what I call tell you or the OP is

there are 10 cars parked there on 01/04/2018 between 08:00 and 08:59 , or
8 between 17:00 and 17:59 etc

I believe this is what the OP asked for, i may be wrong though

Hi Alan,

Thanks very much for your help with this. I think you have resolved my query. you are star.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your help and input as well. I may have not been clear. i only need to look at the past data and tell how busy the car park was, and analyse the average occupancy rate based on hourly occupancy. so i think Alan solution would solve my problem.

Thank you both. I can now go back and load the whole load of data and start analysing.

Re: How to calculate Car Park Occupancy rate - Help !!!

Ok try this example. How many were parked there between:

01/04/2018 04:00 and 01/04/2018 04:59.

At 04:00 there were none. At 04:10 there were none. At 4:20 there were none. At 4:30 there was 1. etc etc. So is the answer 1 or is it 0? The answer is actually there is no answer. The question is nonsensical. The number of cars parked is only possible to answer at a moment in time not a time interval. You could say there was an average of just less than 0.5 between the two times.

only now I realised what are you saying.

ok, the answer to a different question is

there is 1 car max. during that period 01/04/2018 04:00 and 01/04/2018 04:59.

again, we are not sure what exactly the OP after

even that is not right!

if 1 left at 4:15 and another one enter on 4:30 that will b**8 off the numbers.
time to go home
