=IF(D2="NO LUNCH",(F2-C2)*24,(F2-C2-E2+D2)*24)
That should fix it...

Ok I appreciate all the help but unfortunatly none of them worked. I think
the hold up here will be in colums D & E if there is NO lunch taken, I am
entering "NO LUNCH" The formula appears to work fine when it's
=24*(F2-C2-E2+D2).

It's that NO lunch thing

Wrote this formula for work so they don't have to worry about the am/pm thing
and because we need partial hours to be decimal - you may find it helpful:
=IF(D2-C2<0,D2-C2+0.5,D2-C2)*24+IF(F2-E2<0,F2-E2+0.5,F2-E2)*24
time should be entered in the hh:mm format.
Format G as number.

Hopefully someone can stay with me on this. I have colums A-H and 8 rows.

In colum C is the start time of my shift ex) 9am; in column D I have my
lunch out time ex)12 pm. In column E I have my lunch in time Ex) 12:30 and
in column F I have my Finish time ex) 5:30

What I want is in column G is the total number of hrs for that day and I do
not know the formula for this.

So it's 9 am start, 1/2 hr for lunch and quit at 5:30 equals a total time of
XXXX which should be column G

Hope someone can help
thank you
