How to calculate number of hours entered by a user in a single day

Hi Team,

I have an object called Leave Tracker, where users enter the leave date, reason, and number of hours, user can create more than one record in a day with different hours, ex: 1 entry with 2 hours and another entry with 4 hours. but my request is that we should not allow a user to create/update a leave tracker record if the leave hours are more than 8 in a single day per user?

any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Madhu

Hii Madhu
Try Below Code 
Validation Rule = number_of_hours__c > 8

OR

Trigger
trigger testTrigger on Leave_Tracker__c (before insert,before update) {
    if(trigger.IsBefore &&(trigger.IsInsert||Trigger.IsUpdate)){
        for(Leave_Tracker__c lt:trigger.new){
            if(lt.number_of_hours__c > 8){
                lt.number_of_hours__c.AddError('Number Of Hours Cannot be More Than 8');
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi Madhu,

Can you please share the any relation ship between objects ,

Solution Approach:
  1. because Employee(Parent) and LeaveTracker(Child) then we can calculate exact that's you need.
  2. if employee try to enter leave then first we need to check existing leave applied for this date, if this employee already applied  8 hours leave then we can display error message and employee not applied 8 hrs leae for this date then we allow for
  3. for this approach  we need  SOQL on this Parent and Child
if you need any assistanse, Please let me know!!


Kindly mark my solution as the best answer if it helps you.

Thanks
Mukesh

Hi Guys,

Leave tracker is related to the user object.

User Madhu created a leave record with 2 hours on date 23-May-2021, user Madhu should be able to create another record with 3 hours on 23-May-2021, if user Madhu creates a third record with 3 hours of leave on 23-may-2021, then the system should allow user, because all 3 records collectively less than or equal to 8 hours, in this case, user Madhu tries to create 4th record on 23-may-2021 then system through error. 

Thanks,
Madhu

Hii Madhu
Try Below Code 
trigger trialforLeave on Leave_Tracker__c  (after insert, after update) {

        integer  grandTotal=0;
        Integer Tot = 8;
        list<Leave_Tracker__c > acc = new list<Leave_Tracker__c >();
        list<Leave_Tracker__c > newlist = [select Leave_Hours_c from Leave_Tracker__c where CreatedDate = TODAY
];
        
        for(Leave_Tracker__c  a : newlist){
          
            
                grandtotal = grandtotal + integer.valueof(a.leave_Hours__c);
             a.Total_Hours__c = grandtotal;
            acc.add(a);
        }

         for(Leave_Tracker__c a : trigger.new ){
             if(grandtotal > Tot){
                 a.Leave_hours__c.AddError('Leave Hours Max Out');
             }
        }
        update acc;

CharuDutt is on the right path

The calculation of leave hours in a single day rely on getting all the Leave Tracker records for the User on a given date.

I would update the Query so that it uses the "Date of Leave" field on the triggered record, not CreatedDate = TODAY()

The challenge becomes if the trigger is for multiple records with multiple dates and/or users.

Andrew
