You enter time as 7:45 not 7.45. Excel translates 7.45 as 7.45 days, which
is 10:48 on 7th Jan 1900.

Got it Jim...

again tho......if I input 7.45...it displays 10.48....

is it anything to do with world time differences ?

If you choose "Custom" instead of "Time" you can insert "hh:mm" if it is
not
already a choice.

I want my worksheet to display the following time format....

Cell A.....Start time in Hours/Minutes eg 08.50

Cell B....Finish Time in Hours/Minutes eg 17.35

Cell C would = Cell B - Cell A .....showing the Hours/Minutes
someone is
at work.

I dont need to display the seconds as we arent that picky.

Im using UK time too


Thanks for any help...
