Time Sheet and Comp Time
I am trying to put together a "time sheet" worksheet.
Column A is start time formatted in hh:mm Column B is end time formatted in hh:mm Column C has a formula Bx-Cx and is formatted as hh:mm Now for the problem: If the person works exactly 4 hours I want to make "comp" time for that day 0 If the person works more than 4 hours I want to calculate the "comp" time as hours_worked-4 If the person works less than 4 hours I want to calculate the negative "comp" time as 4-hours_worked I'm running into a problem with the calculations for example: Column A1 = 8:00 AM Column B1 = 2:00 PM Column C1 = 6:00 (Formula is B1-A1) Column D1 = C1-4 I "expect" D1 to show 4 instead it shows 3.78. Column D is formatted as a number with two decimal places. If I try any of the time formats I get an invalid cell (all # signs) |

Time Sheet and Comp Time
Chuck,
Excel stores times as fractions of a day. The last formula should be- =C1-4/24 The result is 02:00. Please post again to say how you went. It's good to know whether this suggested solution worked or required more thought. Regards, JohnI "Chuck Duchon" wrote in message ... I am trying to put together a "time sheet" worksheet.

Johnl,
Your solution seems to worked. I just need to take the time to build the "IF" logic to handle the exceptions. Thanks for the prompt response! Chuck "JohnI in Brisbane" wrote in message ...
