I understand and have utilized with success the subtraction operator to find
the difference in times when it is within the same 24 hour period. My
problem arises when the ENDING time is outside the 24 hour period. For
instance, I start a job at 2015 HRS and complete it at 0015 HRS. the next
day. When you utilize the normal subtraction operator, in this case, it
returns '#####' indicating negative numbers. I can do a work-around by
adding 24 to the ending time - for example, normal subtraction operator would
be: =B2-A2 now when I am outside the 24 hour period, I can calculate it
this way: =(B2+24)-A2 . This works; however, I want to set this up so
that I do not have to worry about whether the ending time is outside the 24
hour period. Any suggestions on how to write the formula? Thanks.
