    Timesheet forumla

    So I have a simple Project Timesheet that I wish to use. I have found that if I use the format cells custom feature and enter 0\:00 I can input just the numbers and it will express them with the colon without having to type it. I also found an example where using a hidden column you should be able to convert this to time so that in the number of hours worked column it will show correctly as hours and not decimals. (ie 7:45 hours and not 7:75). The formula that the person had input and in their spreadsheet it worked was =TIME(TRUNC(B4/100),MOD(B4,100),0) I have managed to get this to work if I put the cell format to h:mm.
    I am still having problems getting a formula that will give me the number of hours worked. The sample timesheet had columns for a lunch hour that I do not require which was =IF(E4-C4>0,E4-C4-J4,""), and a simple E4-C4 does not work. I have one final column that requires a running total to a final total at the end. I have gone through the forum and the other Timesheets that I have seen have seemed very complicated for what I want to do.

    I am sure there is a simple explanation as to why this will nor work but I can't see it. I am not sure how to put the spreadsheet up here as an example so if someone could let me know that also I would appreciate it, as I realize that it is easier to solve something if you can actually see it. Below is a list of the columns that I am currently working with.

    Columns
    A - Date
    B - Start Time
    C - hidden column with formula to change to time
    D - End Time
    E - hidden column with formula to change to time
    F - Task Description
    G - Daily Hours
    H - Total Hours

    Thanks

    Re: Timesheet forumla

    When you say E4-C4 doesn't work, what does that mean? Do you get the wrong result? (if so, give an example) Do you get an error, what sort of error?
    Do people ever work past midnight so that E will be less than C?

    When I say that E4-C4 does not work I mean that all that appears is 0:00 so it is not calculating anything

    No error code comes up
    People do not normally work past midnight but it has been known to happen.
    I left out lunch times as I have no problem if they enter in their morning hours and then use a separate line to enter in their afternoon hours. This is because they could be working on more than one project at a time.

    Your column G is formatted to your custom format. You want it to be custom [h]:mm. See attachment

    Re: Timesheet forumla

    Thank You ChemistB That is working now.

    Last thing to ask is the calculation at the bottom in G24, this is to take the total number of hours and change it to dollars amount. The Daily rate for 8 hours is $1200.00 and therefore the hourly rate is $150.00. I am trying to do this from my end but so far I am not getting the correct amount. I am new to using formulas and so do not always know when certain things have to be converted within the formula to be able to achieve the desired result.
