The point I was making is that you have formatted the result to 1 decimal
place. Format it to 2 decimal places, then add up the decimal and you will
see it comes to 3.75. If you add the decimals when displayed to one place
you do get 4, but it is only display, the real numbers are still 2,3,4, or
whatever decimal places.

When you sum up the decimals in Column 3, you get 57. Even if you sum
up just the fractional part, you get a 0.

What makes you think it should be 57? I get 56.75, which rounds to 56.8

decimal place.

Greetings,

I am building a simplified timesheet with the time portion looking
like
this:

Shift Start Shift End Time Worked
14:45 23:30 8.8
17:00 0:00 7.0
12:45 17:00 4.3
0:00 0:30 0.5
6:45 10:15 3.5
15:15 23:30 8.3
7:00 9:00 2.0
18:15 0:00 5.8
0:00 6:30 6.5
7:15 17:30 10.3

The first 2 columns are formatted as time 13:30 and the last column is
formatted as number 1 decimal place.

The formula I use to obtain the hours worked is straightforward
(ShiftEnd-ShiftStart)*24.

When I try and use the sum function to sum up the total time worked
per
week I get 56.8 whereas the correct answer is 57. When I just copy the
numbers manually to another column and sum them up, I get the correct
answer. I have a feeling the problem has something to do with the way
Excel stores time but I can't figure it out. Any help appreciated.

Thanks
