Default time calculation, 24:00 - 16:00 = 8

Have 2 cells formated as time (13.30). I'd like to subtract the start time
16.00 from 24.00 to get a numerical number 8 (format here is number 2 dec
places). Problem is that I am having trouble formating the 24.00 entry to
read 24 hundred hours (24:00), excel puts the entry(24:00) as 00.00 so the
formula reads it as zero hour, hence the equation calculates as 00:00 -
16:00 = -16.00.

The sheet is used for scheduling and is printed and posted. Getting excel
to display (and calculate 24:00) would be a big help.

Thanks in advance
