Hi!

A1 = 11:45 AM
B1 = 5:15 PM

=(B1-A1)*24 = 5.5

If the times can span past midnight:

A1 = 11:45 PM
B1 = 5:15 AM

=(B1-A1+(A1B1))*24 = 5.5

I sometimes do the employee schedule when my boss is
away. The current
schedule is done in excel and is basically a shell with
no calculating. I
need a equation for excel that figures Hours worked, for
weekly calculation
of payroll. would be easier if excel could compute 11:45
to 5:15 ='s 5.5
hours. Can it or do I need to look to another program.
