calculation of pounds per hour
I am trying to create a formula that calculates production pounds per hour.
i have start time and stop time numbers that correctly return hours run in a format of 00:00:00 (which is what i want). when calclating pounds per hour, the time format in excel brings back an incorrect answer. i.e. A1=31,212 pounds produced, B1=15:10:00 (total runtime). A1/B1 brings and incorrect answer of 49,390.4178. the answer should be in the 2 thousand range. please help. -- george |
Divide by 24 (number of hours per day); you get 2057.934

Hi
1 is a day in Excel. Therefore 01:00 is not 1 but 1/24. Try =A1/B1/24 HTH. Best wishes Harald "george" skrev i melding ...
