how do i add negative time to positive time
If you change a setting:
tools|Options|calculation tab|check 1904 date system (xl2003 menu) You'll be able to see negative times. But be careful. If you have dates in that workbook, you'll see them change by 4 years and 1 day. One way to add those four years back is to find an empty cell, put 1462 into that cell. Copy that cell. Select your range that contains the dates. Edit|PasteSpecial|Click Add (or Subtract) depending on which workbook you want to fix. You may have to reformat the cell as a date (mine turned to a 5 digit number). But it should work. You may want to do it against a copy...just in case. Most windows users use 1900 as the base date. Mac users (mostly??) use 1904 as the base date. smorrisrus wrote: I am using excel to design a flexi time sheet for my self. the problem that i am having is adding two negative times together(two weeks say where i have worked less than 37 hrs) and adding a negitive time to a positive time. week three sayi work over 37 now need to adjust to week one and two -- Dave Peterson |
