Default Getting no of hours from start to finish

Hello

I'm working on a time sheet.

I can get the day shift calculations working OK but I'm having trouble
with the night shift.

The formula I'm using is:

=IF(I19="Day";IF(SUM(K20:K21)0;SUM(K21-K20)-TIME(0;30;0));IF(SUM(K20:K21)0;SUM(K20-K21)-TIME(0;30;0)))

The night shift part is in the second half of the formula ie:

......IF(SUM(K20:K21)0;SUM(K20-K21)-TIME(0;30;0)))

Times are in 24 hour format. "-TIME(0;30;0)" is to allow for a 30
minute lunch break

K20 holds the start time and K21 holds the finish time

The problem is when I choose 17:00 for the start time and 06:00 for the
finish time I get 10:30 hours worked iinsted of 12:30 hours worked. I
get the feeling it's subtracting 6AM from 5PM to tell me it's 10:30AM

How can I fix this so I get the number of hours from 17:00 (5PM) to
06:00 (6AM).

Thanks
