How can I calculate business hours between two dates? For example we have two dates; 01/01/2010 15:00 and 04/01/2010 12:00 And we have working hours 09:00 to 17:00 in weekda
Another way of thinking, the below function work correctly if your first day of week is Monday otherwise you should change related lines including (6,7) to your local weekend's days
create function fn_worktime(@Datetime1 DateTime,@Datetime2 DateTime)
Returns BigInt
as
Begin
Declare
@Date1 Date,
@Date2 Date,
@DateIndex Date,
@minutes int,
@lastDayMinutes int,
@StartTime int , --in minutes
@FinishTime int ,--in minutes
@WorkDayLong int --in minutes
Set @StartTime =8 * 60 + 30 -- 8:30
Set @FinishTime =17* 60 + 30 -- 17:30
Set @WorkDayLong =@FinishTime - @StartTime
Set @Date1 = Convert(Date,@DateTime1)
Set @Date2 = Convert(Date,@DateTime2)
Set @minutes=DateDiff(minute,@DateTime1,DateAdd(MINUTE,@FinishTime ,convert(DateTime,@Date1)))
if @minutes<0 OR DatePart(dw,@Date1) in (6,7) -- you can even check holdays here. '(6 Saturday,7 Sunday) according to SET DATEFIRST 1'
Set @minutes=0
Set @DateIndex=DateAdd(day,1,@Date1)
While @DateIndex<@Date2
Begin
if DatePart(dw,@DateIndex) not in (6,7) -- you can even check holdays here. '(6 Saturday,7 Sunday) according to SET DATEFIRST 1'
set @minutes=@minutes+@WorkDayLong
Set @DateIndex=DateAdd(day,1,@DateIndex)
End
if DatePart(dw,@DateIndex) not in (6,7) -- you can even check holdays here
Begin
set @lastDayMinutes=DateDiff(minute,DateAdd(MINUTE ,@StartTime ,convert(DateTime,@Date2)),@DateTime2)
if @lastDayMinutes>@WorkDayLong
set @lastDayMinutes=@WorkDayLong
if @Date1<>@Date2
set @minutes=@minutes+@lastDayMinutes
Else
Set @minutes=@minutes+@lastDayMinutes-@WorkDayLong
End
return @minutes
End
I have actually done this before, taking into account all the variables (weekends, holidays, etc) for business hours is very difficult, I think this task is best done outside SQL

The first step would be to calculate working days, as shown in the script below:
DECLARE @TotalWorkDays INT, @TotalTimeDiff DECIMAL(18, 2), @DateFrom DATETIME, @DateTo DATETIME;
SET @DateFrom = '2017-06-05 11:19:11.287';
SET @DateTo = '2017-06-07 09:53:14.750';
SET @TotalWorkDays = DATEDIFF(DAY, @DateFrom, @DateTo)
-(DATEDIFF(WEEK, @DateFrom, @DateTo) * 2)
-CASE
WHEN DATENAME(WEEKDAY, @DateFrom) = 'Sunday'
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END+CASE
WHEN DATENAME(WEEKDAY, @DateTo) = 'Saturday'
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END;
The second step involves getting a difference in seconds between the two dates and converting that difference into hours by dividing by 3600.0 as shown in this following script:
SET @TotalTimeDiff =
(
SELECT DATEDIFF(SECOND,
(
SELECT CONVERT(TIME, @DateFrom)
),
(
SELECT CONVERT(TIME, @DateTo)
)) / 3600.0
);
The last part involves multiplying the output the first step above by 24 (total number of hours in a day) and then later adding that to the output of the second step:
SELECT(@TotalWorkDays * 24.00) + @TotalTimeDiff;
Finally, the complete script that can be used to create a user defined function for calculating working hours is shown below:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_GetTotalWorkingHours]
(
@DateFrom Datetime,
@DateTo Datetime
)
RETURNS DECIMAL(18,2)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @TotalWorkDays INT, @TotalTimeDiff DECIMAL(18, 2)
SET @TotalWorkDays = DATEDIFF(DAY, @DateFrom, @DateTo)
-(DATEDIFF(WEEK, @DateFrom, @DateTo) * 2)
-CASE
WHEN DATENAME(WEEKDAY, @DateFrom) = 'Sunday'
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END+CASE
WHEN DATENAME(WEEKDAY, @DateTo) = 'Saturday'
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END;
SET @TotalTimeDiff =
(
SELECT DATEDIFF(SECOND,
(
SELECT CONVERT(TIME, @DateFrom)
),
(
SELECT CONVERT(TIME, @DateTo)
)) / 3600.0
);
RETURN (SELECT(@TotalWorkDays * 24.00) + @TotalTimeDiff)
END
GO
The complete method is descibed in this article: https://www.sqlshack.com/how-to-calculate-work-days-and-hours-in-sql-server/
DECLARE @StartDate DATETIME
DECLARE @EndDate DATETIME
DECLARE @WORKINGHOURS INT
DECLARE @Days INT
SET @StartDate = '2010/01/01'
SET @EndDate = '2010/04/01'
--number of working days
SELECT @Days =
(DATEDIFF(dd, @StartDate, @EndDate) + 1)
-(DATEDIFF(wk, @StartDate, @EndDate) * 2)
-(CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, @StartDate) = 'Sunday' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
-(CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, @EndDate) = 'Saturday' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
--8 hours a day
SET @WORKINGHOURS = @Days * 8
SELECT @WORKINGHOURS
Here's an alternative solution, without the use of a function. Note that this relies on the existence of a numbers table, populated with at least the maximum number of days the tasks you're tracking may take.
This doesn't take public holidays into account. If you don't work weekends, setting the opening and closing times to midnight in the @OpeningHours table variable should do the job.
I've tested this against 8500 rows of 'real world' data and found it to be performant.
DECLARE @OpeningHours TABLE ([DayOfWeek] INTEGER, OpeningTime TIME(0), ClosingTime TIME(0));
INSERT
@OpeningHours ([DayOfWeek], OpeningTime, ClosingTime)
VALUES
(1, '10:00', '16:00') -- Sun
, (2, '06:30', '23:00') -- Mon
, (3, '06:30', '23:00') -- Tue
, (4, '06:30', '23:00') -- Wed
, (5, '06:30', '23:00') -- Thu
, (6, '06:30', '23:00') -- Fri
, (7, '08:00', '20:00'); -- Sat
DECLARE @Tasks TABLE ([Description] VARCHAR(50), CreatedDateTime DATETIME, CompletedDateTime DATETIME);
INSERT
@Tasks ([Description], CreatedDateTime, CompletedDateTime)
VALUES
('Make tea', '20170404 10:00', '20170404 10:12')
, ('Make coffee', '20170404 23:35', '20170405 06:32')
, ('Write complex SQL query', '20170406 00:00', '20170406 23:32')
, ('Rewrite complex SQL query', '20170406 23:50', '20170410 10:50');
SELECT
WorkingMinutesToRespond =
SUM(CASE WHEN CAST(Tasks.CreatedDateTime AS DATE) = CAST(Tasks.CompletedDateTime AS DATE) THEN
CASE WHEN CAST(Tasks.CreatedDateTime AS TIME) < OpeningHours.OpeningTime THEN
-- Task created before opening time
DATEDIFF(MINUTE, OpeningHours.OpeningTime, CAST(Tasks.CompletedDateTime AS TIME))
ELSE
DATEDIFF(MINUTE, Tasks.CreatedDateTime, Tasks.CompletedDateTime)
END
ELSE
CASE WHEN Tasks.CoveredDate = CAST(Tasks.CreatedDateTime AS DATE) THEN
-- This is the day the task was created
CASE WHEN CAST(Tasks.CreatedDateTime AS TIME(0)) > OpeningHours.ClosingTime THEN
0 -- after working hours
ELSE
-- during or before working hours
CASE WHEN CAST(Tasks.CreatedDateTime AS TIME(0)) < OpeningHours.OpeningTime THEN
-- before opening time; take the whole day into account
DATEDIFF(MINUTE, OpeningHours.OpeningTime, OpeningHours.ClosingTime)
ELSE
