Default N/A results on vlookup with time calculations

Thank you. If I understood all this correctly I had to make my ss calcs less
precise.
I did that and now it is working.

| My worksheet calculates my timesheet. Each day I enter the time in and the

|
| I figure out the rounding by using vlookup with the following formula:
| =IF(D9-C90,INT((D9-C9)*24)+VLOOKUP(((D9-C9)*24-INT((D9-C9)*24)),$B$77:$C$81,2),0)

| here is the data in b77:c81
| 0 0
| 0.13 0.25
| 0.38 0.5
| 0.63 0.75
| 0.88 1
|
| This has been working fine for 2 months now. But, today my time in was
| 9:00AM and my timeout was 1:00PM and the result was N/A !!!! It works for
| 9:00 to 1:01 and for 9:00 to 12:00 and for any other combo in the past 2
| months.
|
| When I tried stepping throught the formula, it came up to a step doing 4-4
| and then came up with the following result to that calc:
| -8.88178419700125E-16 !!
|
| I am totally perplexed... Will appreciate help on this one.
| I am pretty much a self-taught excel novice...please take that into
| consideration when responding. Thanks
