Time in a negative format?

[PCERM]

I am trying to set up a time management sheet for workers on Flexi Time but
cannot work out how to show times in a negative format. All employees would
normally work 7 hours per day and when they work 7.5 hours the sheet displays
30 mins extra adding up over the week. However when the time is less than
seven all that is diplayed is #########. Although the final column still
calculates the total sum the display is not what I am looking for. Can
anyone help please?

Try 1904 type date format:

Tools/Options/Calculation tab/(bottom left corner)

Regards,
Stefi

Note that changing to the 1904 date system will cause all your
existing dates to be off by 4 years and a day.

Thanks Chip

In this particular case the sheet is purely to do with times rather than
dates and works well or at least as I want it to appear. I'll bear that in
mind though regarding the dates for future docs.

Thanks again for your input.
