Hi! I am stumped on this one, trying to figure out how to calculate total hours from a single cell that lists hours scheduled to work.
I know the simple solution is to split start time and end time into two different cells, however, that is not an option because I am trying to convert hours from an exported report that cannot be reconfigured at this time.
For example, I am looking for a formula that will return the total hours scheduled for C3:
C3 6:00A-2:00P
Any tips would be appreciated!
Hello Ashgemaehlich. Welcome to the forum.
Before embarking:
- Are we to understand that the start/end times can span a Midnight?
- And with that question in mind and this quote.
I know the simple solution is to split start time and end time into two different cells, however, that is not an option because I am trying to convert hours from an exported report that cannot be reconfigured at this time.- Does this rule out helper columns as well?
If so this may take a long complicated formula. It could be a while.
This is what I have so far. I am hopeful it can be shortened/simplified.Formula:

Here is a shorter formula to try:
=MOD(SUMPRODUCT(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(MID(C3,CHOOSE({1,2},FIND("-",C3)+1,1),CHOOSE({1,2},99,FIND("-",C3)-1))),"P"," P"),"A"," A"))*{1,-1}),1)
In B2 then copied down

Pl note
Array formula should be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys together.
If answere is satisfactory press * to add reputation.
Or can try
=mod(lookup(9^9,right(left(substitute(substitute(c3,"a"," am"),"p"," pm"),len(c3)+3),{6,7,8})+0)-lookup(9^9,left(substitute(substitute(c3,"a"," am"),"p"," pm"),{6,7,8})+0),1)

Yet another!
=MOD(MMULT(0+TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C7,"-",REPT(" ",2)),"A"," A"),"P"," P"),{1,9},8)),{-1;1}),1)

Thank you for another lesson.

MOD(sum,1)
Never occurred to me! (Groan!) That shortened my efforts a lot.
About the same as others above though not as short. Used REPLACE first.
=MOD(SUMPRODUCT((TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(REPLACE(REPLACE(C3,LEN(C3),0," "),FIND("-",C3)-1,0," "),"-",REPT(" ",20)),{1,20},20)))*{-1,1}),1)

I can use helper cells if they are linked on a different sheet, I will be "exporting" a master data sheet and having all data pulled from there for calculations
