Default figure out why this formula isn't calculating correctly

.... it's easy done; I'm sure we have all been there but glad it's solved.

Oh man do I feel like an idiot.

Q19 is the sum of cumulative hours worked. Some days a fractional number of
hours worked. It's rounding up because I don't have the decimals showing.

So all of this is calculating CORRECTLY.

Sorry for taking up your time!

Duh.

..Still OK with me, using your original formulae and adding the R15/R16 ones.

Is Q19 a constant or a formula?

R15: =IF(ISTEXT(R14),"",IF(R148,(R14-8),0))
R16: =IF(ISTEXT(R15),"",R14-R15)

I have R12 & R13 formatted as h:mm which I think is just military time as
opposed to the AM/PM format.

I calculated it as 106.

I put your second formula in R14 and result was 10. I substituted R14 for
(R15+R16) in your first formula and got 106. How do you calculate R15 & R16?

R12 & R13 are formatted as hh:mm, all others as general.

Here's the formula:

=IF(OR(ISTEXT(R15),ISTEXT(R16)),0+Q19,(R16+R15)+Q1 9)

R15 = 2, R16 = 8, Q19 = 96

The calculation should be 2 + 8 + 96 = 106, but it's giving me 107.

Here's where I think the error is occurring: the 2 and the 8 are calculated
based off the amount of time between two points during the day; 8 hours of
regular and 2 hours of overtime, or 10 hours of labor. That 10 hours is
calculated as follows:

=IF(ISBLANK(R13),"",(R13-R12)*24) where R13 = 6:30PM and R12 = 8:30 AM

So, if we go back to the first formula, this is where I get lost.
Obviously, somewhere, somehow, Excel is rounding but there's nothing to
round: 8:30AM - 6:30PM is 10 hours, even.

Ideas?
