I have a schedule that works really well to calculate
how many total hours
per employee, but when I want to add a column that
multiplies the total hours
by an rate per hour, the result isn't right--it comes
out in the form of
time. If I have a cell that results in 32:00:00 total
hours and have that
multiplied by say 7 dollars per hour the answer comes
out as 224:00:00. I
need to use the result in other labor cost calculations,
but it wont' work as
a time. Is there a way to make that into a number (e.g.
224 )? I need to be
able to divied the 224:00:00 result by a number equal to
total revenue and
derive a percentage. Any ideas?

Thanks people.
