Hi Helen

not surprising that you're frustrated :) dates & times get me like that
too

okay assuming your dates are in
........A................B...................C
1...08:00..........17:00...........=B1-C1

should give you the correct answer - to check if excel is recognising
your
input correctly, format all three cells to general (do on a copy of
the
workbook) and you should see:

...........................A...................... .......B.........................C
1.....0.333333333333333.....0.708333333333333....0 .375

how does this compare with what you have?

Cheers

message ...-

I am trying to do a time spread sheet, I am using hh:mm which works
ok
until I input a time that comes to a total of 9 hours when the total
time reaches 9 hours it gives me 00:00 if I put eg
08:00 to 15:00 = 07:00 this is correct

but if I put 08:00 to 17:00 should = 09:00 but gives me 00:00 I
cannot
work out what I am doing wrong could some one help.

Please do in simple terms as I am self taught on excel and have
worked
out alsorts but if you get too technical I get lost.

Thanks

Frustrated Helen
