Tracking hours spent on a task

K_Vento

We need to track the actual time spent on each task (daily and/or weekly) in addition to the percentage completed (gantt)  . Any ideas how I can configure that?

Hi,

You'd have to add it manually.

Do you want to keep everything on one row per task? How many tasks and how many people?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

I need this too!

The cell value could be totaled or at least see/enter hrs spent on task(s) per day.

The GREATEST realization of this would be ability to add a number to a day cell in calendar portion of timeline.

Is this functionality inherently not possible per SSheet data-handling and display structure at code-level?

Thanks

@AMETICO , @K_Vento - were you able to acheive this? i am stuck there too…

@Andrée Starå below is the requirement - if your able to still support:

I have two columns in my sheet, one that is ACTUAL HOURS, and one that is WORKED HOURS.

Every time users enter worked hours, the workflow automation takes those hours into that user timesheet, and then clear the WORKED HOURS column so that user can re-enter other hours at any later point of time… at the end of the task (when we complete it), I want to know all the hours spent on this task, and that would be the comulative WORKED HOURS… I would like Actual Hours to be updated on the go whenever Worked Hours are added.

Ex:

Day 1-

Actual Hours = 0

Worked Hours = 5

*Missing* —> Actual Hours = 0+Worked Hours = 5

workflow clears Worked Hours —> Worked Hours = 0

Day 2-

Actual Hours = 5

Worked Hours = 3

*Missing* —> Actual Hours = 5+Worked Hours = 8

workflow clears Worked Hours —> Worked Hours = 0

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

I've shared an example with you.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic day!
