Time formula
 

I am trying to create a formula where it automatically calucates an estimated
completion time. Where my cell adds the 1.68 to the 5:30 to product the time
7:38. Since time is in minutes and the 1.68 would = 1 hour 68 minutes.

Time 5:30am
Hours worked 1.68

Estimated completion time

Any Suggestion??? Thanks in advance

Time formula
 

Hi Sally,

1.68 is NOT 1 hour 68 minutes it is 1 day 16 hours 19 minutes
you must use a colon not a period. Time is measure as fraction of a day.

use the correct Excel syntax and you will have a working formula.

The 1.68 is the value from another formula of time worked.

Time formula
 

if 1.68 is hours then divide by 24 to get Excel time and add the two format as excel time
