Location Census Charts

Hello,

I see the numbers/census in the two types of census charts, meaning line and bar charts do not match. Any explanation why that might happen?

I attached a simple model here, so you can see.

Thanks

model_census_lobby.fsm

Hello @Maryam H2,

Could you explain further what looks incorrect to you? When I step through the model the two charts change together.

The numbers in the charts do not match when the model stops. Also, in some runs, some hours will not show up in the line chart.

Hello @Maryam H2,

So if you partition by hour then you will get the absolution number of patients at the end of the hour in the bar chart. If you change the time chart to have the partition then you will see more clearly where those numbers are coming from.

Notice how the number goes negative in 13:00 because the patients who arrived during 12:00 leave. If you opening the location census history will also then help you see the coming and going of patients in the locations.

@Jeanette F

I understand now, so the line chart does not show the maximum census per hour. It shows the census when at the moment the hour ends. And because of that, some hours do not show up since the census is 0, did I get it right?

That is what the partition is doing. It is grouping the location census history by hour. It is summing the InOut column for that hour. That column shows the enter and exit of patients. It is not counting the number that have ever entered.
