Addition of Rows on the basis of time slots

[vidhuvaibhav]

Hi,

I basically have Start time and End time.

I need to add specific time slot 08-10, 10-12, 12-14, 14-16

Example:

Input

S.No. Start     End

1. 08:01  10:00
2. 08:31  10:30
3. 09:01  11:00
4. 10:31  12:30
5. 11:01  13:00
6. 12:01  14:00
7. 12:31  14:30

Output

S.No Start      End      Slot

1. 08:01  10:00  08-10
2. 08:31  10:30  08-10
3. 08:31  10:30  10-12
4. 09:01  11:00  08-10
5. 09:01  11:00  10-12
6. 10:31  12:30  10-12
7. 10:31  12:30  12-14
8. 11:01  13:00  10-12
9. 11:01  13:00  12-14
10. 12:01  14:00  12-14
11. 12:31  14:30  12-14
12. 12:31  14:30  14-16

Note: I only want even slots, Hours starting from odd numbers will be lying in 2 different slots. Secondly, if minutes = 31 then also it will lie in 2 different slots.

Please help, thanks in advance!

Hi @vidhuvaibhav. Glad I could help. 

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but you can have multiple solutions to a topic.  @Thableaus solution gives you the correct output, even though it's not as pretty as mine:), so you should mark his as a solution as well.

Hey @danilang no worries!

We're here to help, even though some of our solutions are not exactly the shortest way to solve that problem.

And while I'm trying to provide one, the coolest thing is to be able to learn so much from thinking and getting down to it.

Cheers,
