    Trying to build a formula to calculate Lunch & Dinner Penalties on a film set

    Hi there!

    I have come across several other posts looking for a similar formula, but not quite what I am needing help with.

    I am trying to find a formula that will calculate lunch and dinner penalties which occur 6 hours and 1 minute after the crew member's call time. And they continue to add up, 1 every 30 minutes, until the crew breaks for lunch.

    I've attached an excel file as an example.

    Thank you in advanced!

    That's a good formula, ChemistB! First time seeing the use of double-quotes in a formula like this. Here's a Rep for you.

    Just wonder, can you use CEILING instead of FLOOR and dropping the "+1" at the end of the formula?

    Joseph, the simple way is to try it yourself, then you can learn. i think it will work with ceiling but the "6:01" needs to be "6:00"
    =CEILING(E7-D7-"6:00", "0:30")/"0:30"

    Try this
    In K4, lunch penalties

    =CEILING((E4-D4-"6:01")/ "0:30",1)

    In L4, Dinner penalties.

    =CEILING((G4-F4-"6:01")/ "0:30",1)
