Hello,
I am trying to show the staytime for my custom basic fixed resource. However, the average and maximum staytimes are not what I'm looking for due to including downtimes and breakdown times. is there a simple way to exclude states form charts? I read a couple of posts here on the forum that talk about doing this using code but I'm wondering if there is a simple way to unselect/exclude some states from charts.

Hello @Mohamed Eldakroury,
Would it work to look at the time that the processor spends in states that occur when an item is in the processor and aggregate those times? This would be the total time and you can calculate the average time from there as well. You would not have the min and max stay time in this case.
Edit:
I added that the MTBF MTTR and Timetable set a label on the item in the down object with the duration of the downtime (if there is an item). In the statistics collector it tracks the entry time, exit time, and downtime. The stay time is calculated by removing the downtime. I then use a calculated Table to calculate the avg, min, and max stay time.
In the following you can see the default stay time takes into account the downtime and the new chart does not.
@Jeanette F Somehow I just saw your answer now. I was getting ready to post a question about using calculated tables to do what you've mentioned here and I searched the forum and found your answer!
Your answer makes perfect sense and that's exactly what I wanted to do. I'll try it out and let you know. Thank you, that helps a lot!
Thanks for the help @Jeanette F, this actually works.
However, I ran into another problem. I'd like to see Schduled Down Time, not Downtime from MTBF MTTR.
Because my Model has a Time table set up, and the function I want to achieve is that when my material stays on the processor, it must not be in the Scheduled Down state in order to calculate the Staytime.
Can any expert help me? Thank you so much.
