Calculate hours worked minus a half hour for lunch
Hi
Excel stores times as fractions of a day, so 1 hour is 1/24, hence half hour is 1/48 With Start time in A1 and End Time in B1 =B1-A1-1/48 For the cells with the formula, FormatCellsNumberCustomhh:mm If you need to Sum the hours derived by the formula, format that cell as [h]:mm to allow it to accumulate past 24 hours. If your start and end times are likely to span over 2 days, then use =MOD(B1-A1,1)-1/48 -- Regards Roger Govier "Danedel" wrote in message ...

And, if you want the formula to be clearer that it's 30 minutes, use:
=b1-a1-time(0,30,0) Regards, Fred. "Roger Govier" <roger@technology4unospamdotcodotuk wrote in message ...
