I'm trying to create a weekly timesheet in which I enter the time each day an
employee begins, and the time he quits, then total the hours worked that
shift. Some employees work from the afternoon of one day till the morning of
the next day. I can't seem to figure out how to make the Sheet calculate
those hours.
Any suggestions?

Use either

=B1-A1+(A1B1)

or

=MOD(B1-A1)


where A1 is start time and B1 is end time, that way workdays stretching over
midnight will work

Hi!

Try this:

A1 = start time = 3:00 PM
B1 = end time = 3:00 AM

For a result of 12:00 format the cell as [h]:mm and use this formula:

=B1-A1+(B1<A1)

For a result of 12 format the cell as GENERAL and use this formula:

=(B1-A1+(B1<A1))*24

A B
Start time End time
6/9/2007 10:35 AM 6/9/2007 3:30 PM
Formula Description (Result)
=TEXT(B2-A2,"h") Hours between two times (4)
=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm") Hours and minutes between two times (4:55)
=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm:ss") Hours and seconds between two times (4:55:00)


Note You can also apply the time and date number format without using the
TEXT function to specify the format. However, if you use both a format
applied with the TEXT function and number format, the TEXT function takes
precedence.
