Hi
I'm trying to develop a schedule using the following Custom Number fields:
Quantity (Number1) units would be "cubic metres", m3, eg. of dirt
Productivity (Number2) units would be "cubic metres per hour", m3/hr,
eg. for an excavator
Whereby Duration (in hours) = Quantity / Productivity
and Quantity is a fixed figure.
I can't seem to set Duration to calculate using a formula, but have set a
2nd Duration field (Duration1) = Number1/Number2, however I got the following
result:
Quantity = 700000
Productivity = 1000
Duration1 = 1.46d clearly this is wrong, and should show something like
29.17d (= 700000 m3 / 1000 m3 per hour / 24hrs).
I have three questions here:
1) How should I be setting up a Task to get the correct Duration?
2) How do I get Duration = Duration1 (or set Duration using the formula)
3) How do I get the Durations to be reported in Hours, rather than Days?
Thanks
