    Smile Military time wont total correct in a column

    Dilemma:
    I have two columns.
    B. start time C. end time D. Total time (military time)
    Example: 2300 - 0300 = 4 hrs worked.
    =IF(C19-B19>0,C19-B19,1+C19-B19)

    I have a row for every date the hors is worked.

    I cant seem to get the total hours to calculate correctly at the bottom of column D for a total hours worked in a particular pay period. It calculates a total up to 24hrs then reverts to zero. I have tried [h]:mm =SUM(XX:XX) and just about everything else I can think of and cant get it to calculate a correct total over 24 hrs.

    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you !@!

    Hi,

    Just try this on a couple of cells,

    B19 = 03:00:00
    C19 = 03:00:00

    Using your formula the result is 00:00:00

    But if they are included in the SUM total it adds 24hours to the total

    Welcome to the forum.

    Formatting the result as [h]:mm should work. If not, post a workbook.

    Change the formula in D19:D31 to = C19-B19 + (C19<B19), and change the format of those cells and J33 to [h]:mm
