    Calculating Penalties

    I am calculating penalties for a road race. The penalties are applied as follows :

    For every minute LATE, the penalty is 10 seconds
    For every minute EARLY, the penalty is 1 minute
    For lateness exceeding 15 minutes, the penalty/result is OTL
    For arriving on time, the penalty is 0:00:00

    column A = time out
    column B = time allowed
    column C = intended time
    column D = time in
    column E = penalty

    Please provide formula to calculate the penalty in column E

    Re: Calculating Penalties

    What is the calculation to determine the penalty. Is it Time In minus Time Out and compared to Time Allowed or Intended Time? Please clarify. What is the format of the times. Suggest you upload a sample worksheet so that we can be sure we have the correct formatting and understanding.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Re: Calculating Penalties

    the penalties dont follow your logic
    line 8 15 minutes early, so penalty is 15 minutes, but you have 2:30?
    line 9 14 mnutes early is OTL, not 14 minutes
    line 10 10 minutes early is OTL not 10 minutes

    Im not clear what you are asking!

    Dear Sir,

    I am really sorry for the overlook. Thanks for pointing out.

    The time in should be :

    line 8 = 10:45
    line 9 = 10:46
    line 10 = 10:50

    sincere apologies
