Hi all,

Working on a spreadsheet which shows telephone calls:

F column is Start time of the call (e.g. 21/05/2024 12:30)
J column is End time of the call (e.g. 21/05/2024 12:35)
K column is duration of the call in minutes and seconds (e.g. 5m 20s)

Is there a way to work out how many calls took place concurrently at the same time as each call based on this data?

Thanks in advance!

Can you share a sample of your data? THe xl2bb add in (link below) is a great tool that really supercharges you helping the forum help you. If you cannot use that, then please post your sample data as a table.

To answer your question, yes, there probably is a way.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like the seconds were left off, which makes the data a bit harder to work with. Could the format be changed to show the seconds, too?

Hi,

Thanks for your replies, really appreciate it.

@Fluff The above isn't quite right. I'm probably explaining what I'm looking for badly. That shows the amount of calls each call shares a time window with - but what I'm looking for it the maximum amount of concurrent calls that any call has (the amount of simultaneous calls that are occurring).

@awoohaw I'm using Windows 365.
Good point @Vogateer have included them now.

I'm using Windows 365.

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Can you post your expected results.
