Default Extracting number of hours as decimal...

thank you for your help.

I knew it was something simple!

What is time saved as, before you multiply it?

Please explain what multiplying it does to the value - Im a little
confused...

Hi Dan,

Multiply by 24 and format as General or Number, not as Time (which is what Excel does automatically)
