Adding Days and Hours
In an Excel 2003 spreadsheet, column D has the start date and time; D4=
4/1/09 0:01 (24 hour time). Column E has the discontinued date and time; E4= 4/7/09 15:05 (24 hour time). Column G calculates the difference and rounds the time up or down to the closest half hour; G4= MROUND((E4-D4)1/24). Column G is then added to give a total of the days and hours. This formula is used, =INT(SUM(G4:G49))& days, &TEXT(MOD(SUM(G4:G49),1,h)& hours It works fine except when the total number only has days and not any hours. So if the total is 100 days and no hours, a value error is returned. If an hour is added to the discontinue time it returns 100 days, 1 hour. How can the formula be modified to show the zero hours when the column totals 100 days and no hours. Thank you. |

Why dont you use the custom format [h]:mm for column G. and use the normal
substraction =E1-D1 for difference and for the total use your formula to display in Days and hours OR use the SUM() function for the total..

That formula doesn't have valid syntax, so Excel wouldn't have accepted it.
Without knowing what formula you are actusally using, we don't know how you are getting your value error, but it is usually because you are putting text into a function which wants a number. When you post a message here, don't try to retype the formula. Copy the formula from Excel's formula bar and paste it in here. The formula, when you've corrected the unmatched parentheses, works fine even if you have a total where the hours are zero. -- David Biddulph "Basenji" wrote in message ...

When the sum function is used to give the sum of days and hours and the total
exceeds 31 days it returns an invalid number.

Yes, that's OK, as you've included the parenthesis which was missing from
the formula you posted last time. That formula doesn't return a value error if you have a time where the hours are zero. -- David Biddulph "Basenji" wrote in message ...

rounds the time up or down to the closest half hour
G4= MROUND((E4-D4)1/24). You're missing the argument separator but that's not rounding to the half hour, it's rounding to the hour.
