    Productivity Formula Help

    Hello Experts,

    I have changed my productivity spreadsheet to include start and finish times and now I can't work out the productivity correctly. Before we were manually typing in 2.5 if it took 2 and a half hours and now the time formula it says 2 hours 30 minutes.

    For example:

    6000 units scanned / 5 team / 2.5 hours to complete = 480 units per team member per hour

    Now in the new template that automatically works out the hours and minutes based on the start and finish times

    6000 units scanned / 5 team / Took 2 hours 30 minutes to complete = 11520 units per team member per hour which is very wrong.

    I just need help with if I need to change the formula or change the formatting of the cells as we keep track of stocktake productivity for 150 stores.

    Thanks so much!

    Re: Productivity Formula Help

    You will need to convert the time into the integer hours you had in the first worksheet.

    Try in E8 =(D8-C8)*24

    If you are not aware of it times in Excel are numbers --- the decimal fraction of a day (24 hours).

    Expressed as integer hours as in your first workbook:
    17.5/24=0.729166666666667 =formatted for time 5:30 PM
    20/24=0.833333333333333 =formatted for time 8:00 PM

    (20-17.5)=2.5
    2.5/24 = 0.104166666666667 =formatted hours:minutes (h:mm) 2:30

    The formatting is cosmetic. It has no affect upon the underlying values.

    To get the results of actual time returned as whole numbers multiply the times by 24.
