Please note that this is an array formula. You create array formulas in the
same way that you create other formulas, except you press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to
enter the formula. If successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly
braces at both ends like "{=<formula}"

=SUMPRODUCT(IF(MOD(COLUMN(C5:P5),2)=0,C5:P5)-
IF(MOD(COLUMN(C5:P5),2)=1,C5:P5))

Jacob,

My employee's times actually go horizontal so start times would be cells
C5,E5,G5,I5,K5,M5,O5, and end times would be cells D5,F5,H5,J5,L5,N5,P5 and
the sum cell would be Q5. Thanks for your help :)

AM/PM. The "total hours scheduled" cell is formated [h]:mm. I need a
formula for the "total" cell that will add the weekly shifts. Ex; Monday
10-5 + Tuesday 12-8 etc. equals 15:00 I've tried to SUM (time out-time in)
and it will work for one day, but I can't figure out how to add the remaining
work days - all it get is errors. Please help!
