I am making a schedule for my business and i need to figure out the total
amount in hours that each employee works. While I tried to do this I had
trouble entering the intervals (ie. 10am to 6 pm), and finding the sum of
them(ie. Monday to Friday)
-thankyou

hi
to calculate time, you must have a basic understanding of how excel keeps
date/time. mathmaticly time is keep as a decimal value of 1 day. 12 hours =
..5 day

see these sites for more details plus tips, tricks, templates.

In it's simplest form, start time in A2, end time in B2 use this formula in C2

=MOD(B2-A2,1)

then to calculate the sum for the week, assuming 7 days, use this formula in
C10

=SUM(C2:C8)

format C10 as [h]:mm, square brackets essential.....
