    Calculate hours worked minus 30 min break if hours worked are greater than 4.5 hours

    Please help! I am trying to create a formula that calculates hours worked, but deduct a 30 minute lunchbreak only if the employee worked a total of 4.5 hours or more in that day. See attached spreadsheet

    There is likely a shorter/easier way to do this, but you can try this:

    I suggest to use a simple subtraction like C5-B5, or if you need the 4.5 hr rule, to

    Hi

    Try: =IF(MOD(C5-B5, 1)>=4.5/24,MOD(C5-B5, 1)-0.5/24,MOD(C5-B5, 1))
