It doesn't take account of 09:00 per se, but rather the 13:00 break time .
So if you want to start at 11:00 and break 1t 15:00, change the 13/24 to
15/24.

BTW, the formula doesn't need the end bit, just use

=workday(A30,INT(A29/8))+MOD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/24+(N((MOD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/
24)13/24)/24)

Hi Bob Phillips:
Please ignore the toolpak problem, I have solved it.


=workday(A30,INT(A29/8))+MOD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/24+(N((MOD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/
24)13/24)/24)+(N((MOD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/24)17/24)/24)

Thank for your code, could you please give me any suggestion on how to do
it? If I may start counting the hours at 11am, 3pm, ... according to the
starting date.
The above code is assumed that I always start at 9 am.

Thank you very much
Eric

Eric,

Try this


=workday(A30,INT(A29/8))+MOD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/24+(N((MOD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/
24)13/24)/24)+(N((MOD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/24)17/24)/24)

This assumes weekdays only. IF you want to include Sat anmd Sun, use


=A30+INT(A29/8)+MOD(A29,8)/24+(N((MOD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/24)13/24)/24)+(N((M
OD(A30,1)+MOD(A29,8)/24)17/24)/24)

Both assume the start date/time in A30, the number of hours in A29

Does anyone know how to project the due date according to a required
number
of working hours? such as

If today is 24 Oct, 2005 (Monday) at 9:00am, my project required 100
hours
to be finished, then how to create a formula and to project the due
date
in
excel sheet?

Working hour: 9am - 1pm and 2pm - 5pm (total 8 working hour per day)

Thank for any suggestion
Eric
