I see. The other option is just to format the cell as General.

That was to force it into a number, otherwise it returned the result as a
timestamp.

Why the N() function, Bob?

Try
=N((INT(A11)-INT(A10)+1)*8-MAX(HOUR(A10)-9,0)-MAX(17-HOUR(A11),0))

Please help create a formula to calculate total hours serviced for a
technician who conducts a service call, which takes him 3 days to
complete. If the start date is 10/20/2009 10:00 a.m. and the service
is completed on 10/22/2009 12:00 p.m., I would like to collect the
total hours in house minus the hours the shop was closed, which is from
5 p.m. to 9 the next morning. The results should be approx. 18 hours of
service.
