I'm creating a timesheet for our payroll system. I have a row where
employees enter the times they punch in and out each day then at the end of
the row there is a function to automatically total the number of hours
worked. My problem is that the punch-in and punch-out entries are in an
(h:mm) format and I need the cell containing the total to be in a decimal
format. How do I format it so that working 8 hours and fifteen minutes shows
up in the total column as 8.25 rather than 8.15?

Start in A1
End in B1
Format C1 to General or Number, then enter
=MOD(B1-A1,1)*24

The Mod is for times spanning midnight.

Assuming that the times are real XL times then to turn tham into decimal
numbers multiply the total by 24
