Default calculating time


Hello,
I am totally new to excel and I've been handed an availabilities
spreadsheet to maintain. Can someone help me figure out how to write a
formula that will give me the total minutes per month for the years
2003/2004 and 2005. This is the
information I received -----** The total number of minutes in month
(28, 29, 30, or 31 days *1440 min/day) minus the sum of planned
downtimes------ and also this formula which doesn't
work------=(EOMONTH(A37,0)-A37+1)*1440-------- with the explanation
that AXXis the column representing the month-year.
Keep in mind that I have NEVER worked in excel before.
Any information will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Bizyb

Default calculating time

Hi!

this formula which doesn't
work------=(EOMONTH(A37,0)-A37+1)*1440


What does "which doesn't work" mean?

If A37 is the FIRST day of the month and is a true Excel date formatted to
display as month-year then the formula DOES work.

For example:

The true value of A37 = 1/1/2003 but it's formatted to display as Jan-03.

In the cell is the error #NAME? instead of a number.

You need to install the ATP add-in, look under toolsadd-ins and select ATP
(Analysis ToolPak), keep the office/excel cd handy and follow the
instructions

Thanks Peo Sjoblom

It worked like a charm.
GREAT TIMING - getting this working made me look good for my
performance review. I had asked our 2 "resident experts" on two
different occasions
with no response. You are very much appreciated.

Thanks again
bizyb :) :)
