how do i use > or = to in a formual for excel
i am trying to take an employee's total hours in one cell and separate them
into regular and overtime hours, for use on the rest of the spreadsheet. The formula for regular time looks like: =B28 and for the overtime I have been trying to use: =B28+-40 This works fine for 40 hours or more. When the employee works less than 40 however it returns a negative number which throws off the rest of the information in the sheet. i think i need a way to use =(B28 +-40) if or=0 does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance! |

Hi
What do you really have in B28? Total hours? Then I don't unerstand your first formula at all! Let's try it. In B28 you have total hours. When the number of regular hours in week is 40 or less, then you calculate them as =MIN(40,B28) and overtime hours as =MAX(0,B28-40) Arvi Laanemets "Fast Eddie" <Fast wrote in message ... i am trying to take an employee's total hours in one cell and separate them into regular and overtime hours, for use on the rest of the spreadsheet.
