Time Calculation Question
I am creating a report to reflect turnaround times:
the data is in the following format: A B C 1 3/14/2008 8:55:00 AM 3/18/2008 12:55:00 PM calculation to calc the difference I have been just using B1-A1 and using general format to get into days (this is repeated for many more columns to build a time line so to speak) the problem I am running into is not all the fields have values in them... so when I run the formula I get a negative number that messes up averages etc... any recommendations? |
