Hi

Excel stores times as fractions of a day. Multiply your whole formula by
24 and format the cell as General and you will get 8.5
=((D7<D6)+D7-D6+(D9<D8)+D9-D8)*24

Hello,

I am trying to create a timesheet spreadsheet and have come upon a
problem.

I have four cells containing start time(D6), lunch out(D7), lunch
in(D8) and finish time(D9).

EG:

08:30 AM (start)
01:00 PM (lunch out)
02:00 PM (lunch in)
06:00 PM (finish)
08:30 (total)

The total in D10 returns the total time as 08:30 using the formula
=(D7<D6)+D7-D6+(D9<D8)+D9-D8

I need this return as 8.5 hours but have searched high and low and can
find nothing to make it work!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Tone



Sure the solution of Roger is the best one. Mine is alone an alternative.
