If what you want is the number of hours paid at time and a half, and the
number paid at double time then put this formula in D4 and drag down.

=IF(B4-C42,2,B4-C4)

Then put this in E4 and drag down

=IF(D4=0,0,B4-C4-D4)

Hi Folks,

I am stumped as to limiting an "if" statement in my payroll spreadsheet.

basically, my wage rate is as follows...
* straight time (8 hrs.)
* time and a half after 8, till 10 hrs. (2hrs.)
* double time after 10

my problem is with limiting the "time & a half" collumn to 2 hrs.

D7=IF(B78,B7-8,0)

I'm not sure I'm being coherent with what I'm trying to relate to this
group, so I uploaded a sample of what I've got to the web for your
viewing.

Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

thx
