Create a pivot table in a new sheet using the data from the downloaded report as follows:

Design the pivot table:

Subtotals -> Do not show subtotals

Report Layout -> Tabular Form

Grand Totals -> Off for Rows and Columns

Copy pivot table  and paste values on a new sheet.

Sort descending on Sum of Total:

Delete rows that are 1 hour or less.

Remove services that have a space in task.cmdb_ci (the Service Name).

Subtract one hour from each remaining row.  Use an Excel formula such as =C2-1.

Multiply this new column by the current W-HOURLY and UNIX-HOURLYrate ($138.00 as of 11/2022).

The services left are the services that we will recharge. 

Sort by task.assignment_group.
