Thanks Chip

In this particular case the sheet is purely to do with times rather than
dates and works well or at least as I want it to appear. I'll bear that in
mind though regarding the dates for future docs.

Thanks again for your input.

Try 1904 type date format:

Tools/Options/Calculation tab/(bottom left corner)

I am trying to set up a time management sheet for workers on
Flexi Time but
cannot work out how to show times in a negative format. All
employees would
normally work 7 hours per day and when they work 7.5 hours the
sheet displays
30 mins extra adding up over the week. However when the time
is less than
seven all that is diplayed is #########. Although the final
column still
calculates the total sum the display is not what I am looking
for. Can
anyone help please?
