You need to use the 1904 date system to allow negative times Tools / Options / Calc tab Check
"1904 Date system" Note that this will throuw off any entered dates on you worksheet unless you
subtract 1492 from all of your date constants....

I have a worksheet that displays appt. time & actual time in, some of my
actual time in data is greater than the appt. time ex: 13:15 appt time,
Actual time in 13:18, the cell should show :03 in red? but instead it gives
me a #VALUE!. How can I display this time, and show it as a negative time.
