Default trouble with subtracting cells and adding text...

To get the 39.61 hours your cell must be formatted as number with two decimal
places. When you use the & in the cell you see the full formatting. If you
format the cell with the 39.61 showing as having a lot more decimal places
you will see the same as with the &.
