Okay, I definitely am not communicating this right. Topper told me to change
the cells where I enter time to military because the calculations needed
military to work. The end result is what I want to see - in the columns of
total time, i.e., Reg hrs, OT, etc. It's the time I type in. I type in
8:00 AM, the cell converts it to the format of military. How can I get the
formula to recognize those cells as regular clock time? The formula only
works with military time. Sorry, I know what I am talking about, but it is
hard to convey it.

Actually his formula converts it to decimal time, not military

=MAX(0,(($D12-$C12)+($F12-$E12)+($H12-$G12))-TIME(8,,))

will return regular excel time and you can format it to your liking


be prepared that 0:00 will be displayed as 12:00 AM

Yes, the formula converts the typed in time to military. I type in 8:00
am,
the formula converts it to 800, but the accounting dept. wants to see 8:00
am. How can we make the formula calculate the time and leave what you see
as
8:00 am? I have tried different number settings for the cells, but can't
seem to find the "right" one. If it would make it easier to see what I am
talking about, can I send it to you?

800 for 08:00 AM and 2200 for 10:00 PM

is that what you are using?

Peo,
The timesheet has the time entered as military (see below email
string),
then calculates and converts to 8 in total reg hrs and # for any
overtime.
It is the miliary time that is the problem. The way I understand it,
to
be
able to calculate time, it first must be military (my sheet lets you
enter
reg clock time, then converts it to military). What I need it to is
not
show
it as military time in the timesheet itself, but to calculate it in
military
time.

If you can think of a better way or just another way to get what will
satisfy "the heads", please let me know. I worked on this all weekend
and
finally gave in and got online and posted my question. What I thought
was
going to be easy, turned out to be not so easy for me.

OT hours as AM/PM? Frankly that doesn't make any sense at all, what if
you
have 20 hours of OT, are you going to use 08:00 PM? If you mean what
you
put
into the cells to be calculated like

IN Out
08:00 AM 11:30 AM

and so on, that is just a formatting issue. Just change the format

The timesheet is perfect, except for the fact that now our
accounting
department wants the times to be AM/PM, not military. Can we still
calculate
the total times and convert the time to AM/PM to comply with the
"heads"?
Example: in 8:00 AM / out 12:00 PM / in 1:00 PM, etc.

Assuming the mismatch between your formula and rows is typo (row 12
contains
headings), the formula works OK for me. I have the time columns
formatted
as
hh:mm and Reg Hours as General


OT hours (formatted as General):

=MAX(0,(($D12-$C12)+($F12-$E12)+($H12-$G12))*24-8)

What error do you get?

I downloaded a timesheet like the one below. I added the extra

can't seem to get the formulas to work. I used the existing
formula
and just
added the two new columns.
