Default Calculate negative hours (time)

Jolana,

Isn't that what you need? If an employee works 7 hours instead of 8 then the
difference isn't a time it's a number of hours (-1 hour). I suggest you have
a look here

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/overtime.htm

where Chip Pearson has an example workbook you can download.

Hello

I only have excel 2000 - (SORRY, should have told you) so I don't have
the 1904 date system.

If I formate the cells as numbers excel shows the numbers instead of
the time values. So how can i keep
the right visualization?

Kind regards Jola

Hi,

Apart from the start and finis times I wouldn't work with the cells
formatted as time' i'd format them as numbers and this gets over the negative
time problem.
I.e. columns C, D & E formatted as number

A B C D E
Start Finish Hrs worked Required hrs +/1
08:00 16:00 =(B1-A1)*24 8 =D1-C1

Hi all


I have one employee NOT working 8 hours sometimes.


Monday 08:00 - 16:00 = 8 hours
Tuesday 08:00 - 15:00 = 7 hours
Wednesday 08:00 - 16:30 = 8,5 hours


a1 b1 c1 d1
08:00 16:00 b1-a1 = 8 +8
08:00 15:00 b1-a1 = 7 -1
08:00 16:30 b1-a1 = 8,5 +0.5


I cant figure out the d1 column formula. Any help appreciated. Sorry
if this has been asked before


Thanks in advance!
