N2 is =MIN(J2,M$1)-MAX(I2,L$1)
O2 is =K2-N2 (assuming that K2 is =J2-I2)
Multiply by 24*60 if you want to convert from Excel times to minutes.

Start time is in I2
Stop time is in J2
Elapsed time is in K2
The start time for the calculation (07:00) is in L1
The stop time for the calculation (15:00) is in M1
The formula will appear in N2 and O2 respectively (time inside the block
and
time outside the block)

So far I have an if statement that works if both the start and stop times
fall between the block (0700-1500), I'm getting hung up where either the
start time falls within the block but the end time doesn't, or vice
versa).

I have a fairly large amount of data involving time. I have a start
time, a
stop time and elapsed time. I need to know how much of the elapsed
time
falls between set times elsewhere in the spreadsheet.

Ex: Set times are 07:00 and 15:00
Start time = 14:03
End time = 15:13
Elapsed time = 70
The question I need to answer is, how much of the elapsed time falls
between
7:00 and 15:00 and how much falls outside. So the answer is (doing the
math
in my head ) is 57 minutes inside and 13 minutes outside.

But I need to do this for hundreds of rows of data and can't seem to
come up
with a formula that works.
