Italian / Italiano / Problema orario che non finali...
Last post by ECAV - September 10, 2025, 04:11:05 PM
Buongiorno,

ho un problema con l'orario. Sono settimane che provo a sistemare questo documento ma il programma non riesce a chiudere l'orario.

I vincoli inseriti sono quelli necessari, anche provando a togliere le X dei desiderata non finalizza. Mi sto chiedendo se matematicamente l'orario sia impossibile, prima di dover andare dalla Dirigente volevo chiedere il vostro supporto.

Sarei disposta per chiudere l'orario ad aumentare le ore buca degli insegnanti che svolgono più di 18 ore se necessario. Mi pare di aver provato ma manco così finalizza.

Mi potete aiutare? Grazie mille

Do I have to perform this below in order to get the fet2xlsx.exe? I don't have Linux, is there any other way? Many thanks

Command line (Linux)
First make the program executable, then

./fet2xlsx path/to/test1_data_and_timetable.fet

Hi,

Thank you both for your time and effort. The main reason for us to have excel timetable is for other people who use the timetable for other purposes, and they work in excel mainly. I'll try fet2xlxs. Thank you very much.

I have been thinking about this a bit over the last couple of days. Although I think that, in general, a spreadsheet is not a good way to present the output from FET (why would you want to do this?), I did have some code for reading FET results lying around. Adding a bit of code to produce spreadsheets should not be too difficult, I thought ...

Well, a quick search of the forum brought up a few posts from the past, and it seems that there are at least two reasons for wanting Excel files:

1) To print the results in some sort of customized way.

2) Because some other administrative software accepts only Excel files.

Both of these will probably require tables structured in very particular ways, and be very dependent on the nature of the timetable data. They seem very fragile, in the sense that a different set of input data could break the layout assumptions. Each institution might need its own customized version of the converter. That is not an encouraging basis for a developer to work on.

There are certainly better solutions for printing – all the data is available in the XML, so why convert it to Excel before working on it? I have done some work on printing timetables. Because of the extreme flexibility of FET, it is very difficult (impossible?) to find a layout/structure which will satisfy all requirements, in general. If certain limits can be imposed on the data, quite nice results can be obtained – I have had some success with Typst, but it requires quite a lot of programming.

For providing input to other software, it would certainly be better to consult with the designers of that software, in the hope of getting them to provide a better input interface! Of course, that is not always possible ...

Anyway, for anyone who really wants Excel documents, I have put up a little "proof of concept" at fet2xlsx. It should work roughly like FETtoExcelExporter, but it uses different input files (the "..._data_and_timetable.fet" ones) and is cross-platform. I have posted runnable files for Windows and Linux.

Buongiorno,

I think you could use teacher(s)/students (set) activity tag max hours daily.

Ok thanks, perhaps it could be useful tu add this feature in the future..
I see that if you put it in when you create the activity, then you have the ability to change it later
You cannot view this attachment.
so I think it really misses the feature to just add it to a split activity allready inside the timetable.
