Hi I an trying to generate a formula to enable my wife to calculate the off
duty for her section.
i have used 3 cells to start off with just to see if i could get it to work,
cell 1 = start time, Cell 2 = end time, Cell 3 = total.
e.g. start time =08.00, end time =13:00, then total time = 5hrs, formula say
=sum(d3-d2) simple. Ok
Well this is the part were i have got stuck. If the total is equal or more
than 7 hours then i need to subtract 0.5hr, but only if it is equal or
greater
so say start time is 10:00, end time is 22:00 then is should = 11.5 and not
12 hrs as the sum is greater than 7hrs
Can some kind person out there help with the formula

cheers

A1 = 10:00
B1 = 22:00

In C1 try the below formula

=IF(B1-A1TIMEVALUE("07:00"),B1-A1-TIMEVALUE("00:30"),B1-A1)

Hi Have tried copying thsi formula in to cell c, but it just comes up with
zero, what formate should the cells be, i have tried "time format" and
general?

any ideas

Hi Again
Just had a look over the formula you have suggested to try, if there an
issues with the "07:00" value as this is a time value and not a total between
the times

eg 08:00hrs to 13:00 hrs equals a Total of 5 hrs
threrefore 07:00 is a time value and would generate a zero??

Entering 10:00 to A1 will automatically custom format cell A1 to h:mm
Entering 22:00 to B1 will automatically custom format cell B1 to h:mm

Custom format C1 to [h]:mm and try the below formula

=IF(B1-A1TIMEVALUE("07:00"),B1-A1-TIMEVALUE("00:30"),B1-A1)

Fantastic that works great, however i had to set the cell format to "Time"

many thanks for for help

Hi again its me sorry

That works great, but when i am trying to add all the totals together at the
end coulb say "J" it does not work as it comes up with just adding the time,
in stead of
10:00hrs to 22:00hrs equals 11:30 for Monday (less the .5 hr), for Tuesday
it is 08:00hrs to 12:00hrs equals 4.0hrs (do not subtract the 0.5 hr as it
is less than 7 hrs total), Wednesday 08:00hrs to 12:00hrs equals 4.0hrs
there for the total for the week should read in say columb "J" total 19.5 hrs
for that week
formula used =SUM(C1+F1+I1) but it does not come up with this total?

sorry to be a pain

Firstly, could you please explain to us what you want the SUM function to do
in =SUM(C1+F1+I1) ?
Why not just =C1+F1+I1 ? What do you want to sum with C1+F1+I1 ?

Secondly, you say "does not come up with this total" but you haven't told us
what total you have come up with, so it's rather difficult for us to tell
what you've done wrong.

Thirdly, in another reply to Jacob's message you said "i had to set the cell
format to "Time""
What was wrong with Jacob's suggestion of:
Custom format C1 to [h]:mm ?
You will see that his suggestion copes with values beyond 24 hours when you
add them up, but yours doesn't.

Hi Again

I have seen the issue regarding to my last thread to you on the totaling
issue.

What seems to be happening is that when it gets to over the 24Hrs total it
the carries on to count like a clock would.
eg a total that should read 24hrs:30min in showing the total being 00:30

can you help to sort this totaling issue out?
