making a time a measurement of time, not an hour of the day??
I am creating a timesheet (from a tutorial in a mag) and have the clock in time, clock out time and break. Clock in and out are times of the day - fine. The break time is a measurement of time, eg, 1hour, rather than a specific time, eg, 1.00am. I cannot seem to make the break setting a measurement of time (even though I have followed the tutorial to the letter). How do I set the break to be a measurement of time? Am using Office Mac 2004.

Presumably you have subtracted the clock-in time from the clock-out time.
Just multiply that result by 24 as Excel stores time as a fraction of 1 day, and format it as General. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "small tom" wrote in message ...

Thanks in advance Tom Just format the cell as h:mm or [h]:mm Format/Cells/Number/Custom Type: ____ It will appear properly in the cell. You cannot change it's appearance in the formula bar. --ron |

Sorry, I obviously did not explain myself very well. I have already subtracted the clock in time from clock out etc and that all works fine but when I input my break time (eg, 0:45 for 45mins) it changes it to 12.45am and therefore I cannot subtract this from the total and get a nice neat "hours worked" sum. I need to know how to make 0:45 equate to 45mins rather than 12.45am.

Thanks for that - had already tried it and it was not working but as it turns out, I had another error elsewhere. All sorted now ta.

Hi Tom,
and since it looks like you will probably needing additional help with understanding and using date and time suggest you look over http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/datetime.htm http://www.cpearson.com/excel/excel.htm You might also keep the format [hh]:mm or [h]:mm in mind to keep hours from overflowing into days when you add up a column of times. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Bob Phillips" wrote ...
