    Re: Calculate time durations for a roster, and indentify the earliest and latest times

    Sorry Gentlemen,

    The roster starts at 07:00 and ends 24hrs later 06:00.
    i need to read the time order from 07:00-06:00, not 00:00 to 24:00.
    Also the start and end time will not always start or end on the latest or earliest time

    Regards

    Baj

    Sorry about this,

    i am badly stuck in the sheet attached "ROSTER" i need to examine an indeterminate number of time periods and indentify the earliest and latest time ie EARLIEST = STARTTIME and the LATEST ENDTIME. the difficulty is that the time has to be calculated where the earliest time is 07:00 and the latest time is 06:00. As the Roster starts at 07:00 not at midnight

    The roster starts at 07:00 and ends 24hrs later 06:00
    That's 23 hours later.

    Perhaps you could post an updated example, and explain clearly in context what the problem is.

    In the START and END column, i have to manually input the times by checking Cloumns B E and H, i was wondering if there is a formula that will automate the selection in Column J and K

    Re: Calculate time durations for a roster, and indentify the earliest and latest times

    K2: =MIN(MOD(C2-"7:00",1), MOD(F2-"7:00",1), MOD(I2-"7:00",1)) + "7:00"

    L2: =MAX(MOD(D2-"7:00",1), MOD(G2-"7:00",1), MOD(J2-"7:00",1)) + "7:00"

    Copy down.

    Re: Calculate time durations for a roster, and indentify the earliest and latest times

    Many thanks SHG,

    There is a problem if any of the tasks are left empty, i adapted your formula as below, it seems to be ok.
    =MIN(IF(C4="",0,MOD(C4-"7:00",1)),IF(F4="",0,MOD(F4-"7:00",1)),IF(I4="",0,MOD(I4-"7:00",1)))+"7:00" IS this OK.or would you have altered it differently.
    If i could be so bold to ask, but i understand in principle how the MOD function works, but would you mind explaining about the use of the 07:00 and particularly the double quotes.

    Again you assistance is very much appreciated

    BAJ

    Re: Calculate time durations for a roster, and indentify the earliest and latest times

    Your shift starts at 7:00. I subtracted 7 hours from all of the times (effectively moving the day back 7 hours), got the minimum, and then added the 7 hours back.

    "7:00" is a string that looks like a time. When it's part of an arithmetic expression, it gets coerced to the number value for 7:00.

    SHG

    Sorry but how should i record a task that ends at the close of the shift eg 04:00 - 07:00 It doesn't seem to register.

    Kind Regards

    You would be doing yourself a favor if you posted example workbooks.
