I think you need to change the results to a number format. Time starts Jan
1, 1900.
If you are trying to get the difference between two dates 4/15/07 - 4/14/07
this gives you 1 which in time format is Jan 1, 1900. In number format it
gives you a 1.

The cells are in time format useing 24 time.

You need to format the cell to be in number format, not in a date format. It
is probably giving you a year in 1900. Also your answer will be in days. To
convert it to hours multiply by 24. Minutes multiple by 24 * 60 = 1440.

Your formula isn't valid syntax. If you've got a formula in your
spreadsheet it's safest to copy it from the formula bar to the newsgroup,
rather than retyping it with errors.
Did you mean =SUM((A6-A5)*24,(A4-A3)*24) ?
If your problem is with going beyond midnight, it's worth using the
MOD(...,1) construct.
Try =24*(MOD(A6-A5,1)+MOD(A4-A3,1))

I have a third shift and using excel to calculate time 10:30 to 7am all the
other shifts calculate fine useing =sum((A6-A5)*24(A4-A3)*24), But useing
this formula the third shift comes out in negative numbers any
suggestions.
