timesheet problems!
hi
I have managed to set up a timesheet (all by myself woohoo!!). Having a few problems though! I have a rolling timesheet over a 4-5 week period. It adds up the daily total no problem, but for the daily difference, if it is a negative then it shows up as ######. anyone any ideas? thanks msiz (",) |

What formula are you using that returns ##### for negative values? How is
the cell formatted which returns #####? Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit. "msiz" wrote: hi I have managed to set up a timesheet (all by myself woohoo!!). Having a few problems though!

timesheet problems!
Well, time can't be formatted as negative, so that's why you're getting the
error value. Time begins at point 0, not at negative infinity, so Excel can only return an error. One way to work around this is to convert the calculation into numerical form. Example: A1= 2:00 AM B1= 1:00 AM C1 = B1-A1 -- returns #### if formatted as time. Changing this calculation to =(B1-A1)*24 converts the time into digit form and returns -1.

Hi
You cannot have negative time, unless you are using the 1904 date system ToolsOptionsCalculation1904 If your negative time is caused by times running over a 24 hour period, then try =MOD(F5-$G$1,1) -- Regards Roger Govier "msiz" wrote in message ... hi Dave using this formula: ie. =F5-$G$1 formatted as [h]:mm msiz "Dave F" wrote: What formula are you using that returns ##### for negative values?
