Subtracting time
 

Hello, Can someone kindly help me with this trouble.

I have a few columns formatted as h:mm.

Start Time = A2
End Time = B2
Result = C2

I want to subtract A2 from B2 (B2 - A2) and show the difference in C2.

I then want to say if C2 = 0:00 then display "Full".

If C2 0:00 then display "Available".

If C2 < 0:00 the display "Overbooked"


Although I do see 0:00 in the result column (C2), the logic does not work

I would greatly appreciate any help on this.

Try this:

=IF(C2=0,"Full",IF(C20,"Available","Overbooked"))

Hope this helps.

Your problem is that a display of 0:00 is rounded to the minute, but the If
statement is not rounding, so if you have a difference of less than 30
seconds, it's not zero to Excel. Change C2 to:

=mround(b2-a2,1/60/24)

Regards,
Fred.

Try:
=IF(COUNT(A2:B2)<2,"",IF(B2-A2<0,"Overbooked",IF(B2-A20,"Available","Full")))

Have you tried changing the format of C2 from time to a number?
