    Try "=(ROUNDUP((B1-A1)*24*2,0))/(24*2)"

    Re: Round the time

    MROUND rounds to the closed Fix. With Timesheets, I would expect a roundup to be more common, but please use whichever suits your requirements.

    Re: Round the time

    Thanks. It is working in Excel XP.

    Could you please eloborate the function (first we multiplied 24*2 and then divided)

    Re: Round the time

    Hi

    Time in Excel is shown as a fraction of a Day. My multiplying by 24, I now have the Units as hours. Take any number, double it and round it up to zero decimal places and you will get an odd or even result. Divide that by 2 again and you will have a number that is either x.0 or x.5. Divide that again by 24 and you have got back to how Excel stores time values.

    Run it on some test data, stage by stage.

    Stephen

    Re: Round the time

    Just in case you ever need it, if you did "=(ROUNDUP((B1-A1)*24*4,0))/(24*4)" you would then be rounding to the next 15minute point on the clock.
