If A1 contains 8:00 am and B1 contains 4:00 pm...
=(B1-A1)*24
will give you 8 hours.

Can you calculate total hours by entering the start and finish time? For
example, can you enter 11:30a.m. as the start time and 4:00p.m. as the finish
time and get 4.5 as the calculated answer. If excel can calculate this
figure, then, what format should the cells be in--in order to be able to
enter simply 12 to get 12:00 or 845 to get 8:45. Is any of this possible?
Thanks
