THnaks Nick but I am having problems with Formatting I get the answer but I
want to see it in H:mm:Ss of elasped time - The Answer should be eg. 4:28:54;
when I try the custom format I get 11:20:24 which is the time no the elasped
time.

Hope you have an answer - Its driving me crazy

Regards
Jas

Format as time (copy the format from A1)
If you need the time to calculate (to multiply with an hourly rate), use *24
like in your first formula.

When calculating Time (H:mm:ss) using formula (B1-a1+(b1<A1))*24 how do I
get
the answer in H:MM:SS

EX: A1 = 22:54:33
B1 = 3:22:54 Using above formula I get 4.4725
