It doesn't seem to work. This is how I calculated C1 (Duration)
=(B1-A1)+IF(B1<A1,1) --- with a custom formatting of [mm]. But even if i
enter the duration manually and change the formatting of A1 and B1, it
doesn't give me the exact value. It gives me a value of 26:30. Is there a way
i can do it in AM/PM format. I remember doing it sometime back, but just
can't get it. Thanks. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Mark;

In cell D1 type =(C1*3)+A1. You may want to get into a little more
formatting. I had to format my cells to military time so as to calculate
accurately. When you enter pm time just enter the letter P after the time.
Anything without a P will default to AM.

God Bless

A1 (Audio Start Time) : 11:30 PM ; B1 (Audio End Time) = 12:30 AM ; C1
(Duration of the audio) [B1-A1] = 60 mins; D1 (Deadline) = ??? --- where
deadline is, duration multiplied by 3, the resultant converted to hours and
added to the start time.

I understand that there is a high probability of getting confused. Please
let me know.

Thanks

Hello all,

I am a transcriber. Let's say, I start transcribing an audio at 11:30 PM and
the audio is 60 minutes long. I have to transcribe a minute of the audio (one
minute of speaking in the audio) in 3 actual minutes. So 60 minutes should
take me three hours, which means my deadline is 2:30 AM. I should have
finished my job by 2:30 AM. Can someone help me out in generating a formula
which will calculate the deadline time? Thanks
