How do you solve this one ?
Hi...Im back again.............I thought i'd sorted it then this one popped
up........ I'm doing the time sheets for work (still!).........to try and keep it simple, I input peoples start and finish times into a cell, that data is copied to a section lower down the page (this is eventually printed and handed out so that the staff know who is doing what that week) Well, it was working fine....till i tried something.. The cells have the staff members name......their start time,their finish time...the finish time minus the start time gives the hours a person works that day.......so far so good...... If a person is off work then its displays DAY in the start time box....and OFF in the end time box - this makes it show #value! in the Hours box.......this I can sort of live with....but......the worksheet also adds up the persons hours.......but what with this #value in one of the cells - it is stopping it from adding up. If we had permanent static duties it wouldnt be a problem - but every ow and again a person works extra. How can I make an entry that will allow this ? All help appreciated - Dave :) MONDAY DAY OFF #VALUE! TUESDAY 08:20 17:30 9:10 WEDNESDAY 08:50 18:20 9:30 THURSDAY 08:50 12:40 3:50 FRIDAY 08:50 17:35 8:45 SATURDAY 08:50 17:35 8:45 TOTAL HOURS #VALUE! I can email the worksheet if you want it |

don't know what your layout is, but if the day, start time, end time and hours
worked are adjacent, you could use a formula for the hours worked. if(c1="OFF",0,c1-b1) -- Gary "DB" wrote in message .uk...

If they have the day off, do you want 0 hours to appear?
You could use IsError inside of an IF statement to trap the error. =IF(ISERROR(B1-A1),0,B1-A1) where B1 is the end time and A1 is then start time. Substitute B1-A1 for whatever formula you are using if it is different. "DB" wrote: Hi...Im back again.............I thought i'd sorted it then this one popped up........

er............this is where I show my total ignorance.....
I havent a clue about VB and do everything in crude methods....such as working the maths out myself and then using the autosum to get my answers in the way that I work them out.(If you follow me) If you have the time, tell me what to do where and i'll do it..

I havent a clue about VB
There were instructions to use VB at all. The answers were both for formulas used in the worksheet - to replace the ones returning the #Value error. Instead of using =B1-A1 to get the number of hours worked, use =IF(ISERROR(B1-A1),0,B1-A1) obviously adjust the B1 to indicate the cell in the row that has the finish time and A1 to indicate the cell in the row that has the start time. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "DB" wrote in message .uk... er............this is where I show my total ignorance.....
