Import scheduled time as label on a patient

In a Posting a few years ago, @Matthew Gillespie wrote:

I think the best thing to do in this case would be to add another column in Excel and duplicate the first column data in this row. That way when you import the file you get another Label column in the Date Time Source's table.

I am having trouble doing this. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

What step are you having trouble with?

For the first solution in the linked post, you would add a string label to the source table and copy the first column over.

You can also use the second approach Matthew posted as a later comment, which is to read the time from the table view of the schedule. In addition to that reply, you can then use the "DateTime" constructor to convert the numerical value into a time string that contains the hours and minutes.

To compute the difference between two times I would keep them as numerical values so you don't have to convert the strings back before doing the calculation.

You can use a variant of the second method above to assign the scheduled time from the table to a label by defining the value of the label in custom code. (The code below assumes that the model starts at midnight, so that the value in the table is equal to the model time at which the patient is scheduled. It then also adds to the time depending on the cycle count with the assumption that a daily repeat might be added later.)

Then you can just read the current time with "Model.time" and compare the two numbers directly.

(Values from a second day with daily repeat set)

If you want the values in the string format, you can convert them afterwards like you do with when reading the time in your attached model.
