Business Hours calculation Excluding Weekends in Crystal XI

Greetings Everyone,

I have some problem with calculating Business hours in crystal XI. Following is a sample out of data. our business time is from 07:00 hrs to 16:00 hrs and business days are from Sat-Wed, weekends are Thursday and Friday.

so the calculation of hours should exclude Thursday and Friday and any hours before 7:00 AM and after 04:00 PM.

following is the sample output of calculation @Business.Hours.

Date1: Start Date
Date2: End Date

also note that the entries in the Date2 field were intentionally added that way to explain the problem. this problem seems to be when the Date1t and Date2 are on Thursdays and is during non business hours. this gives the wrong result. instead of giving 0 hours it is showing me 9 hours.

ID              Date1                             Date2               @Business.Hours
1        1/3/08  3:00 AM         1/3/08  3:00 AM        9.00
2        1/3/08  3:00 AM         1/3/08  2:59 AM        9.00
3        1/3/08  3:00 PM          1/3/08  3:00 PM         0.00
4        1/3/08  3:00 PM          1/3/08  2:59 PM         0.00
5        1/4/08  3:00 AM         1/4/08  3:00 AM        0.00
6        1/4/08  3:00 AM         1/4/08  2:59 AM        0.00
7        1/4/08  3:00 PM          1/4/08  3:00 PM         0.00
8        1/4/08  3:00 PM          1/4/08  2:59 PM         0.00
9        1/5/08  7:00 AM         1/5/08  2:00 PM         7.00
10       1/5/08  7:00 AM        1/5/08  6:59 AM        0.00
11       1/5/08  7:00 AM        1/10/08  7:00 AM      45.00
12       1/5/08  7:00 AM        1/11/08  11:00 PM      45.00
13       1/10/08  2:00 AM       1/12/08  2:00 AM      0.00
14       1/10/08  2:00 AM       1/12/08  8:00 AM      1.00

Original formula is downloaded from http://support.businessobjects.com/ and modified to suit weekend and business hours.

the modified formula looks like below.

//@Business.Hours.

any help to fix this would be appreciated.
