Are you sure, Luke? Have you checked?

The false condition will not return the *word* FALSE but the *boolean value*
FALSE, and that will evaluate to zero (just as TRUE will evaluate to 1),
which is why the IF function is unnecessary. [But it should not cause that
error.]

You didn't give a value for what to do if false. Thus, when you get a
false
condition, its trying to add numbers to the word FALSE and messing up.

You could try
=D4-C4+IF(C4D4,1,0)

This formula gives me a error message every time I enter something in the

would calculate minutes of production time per shift. AM to PM and PM to

I am formatting my start and stop time as h:mm AM/PM and my result of
