    Question Time sheet: programming or user error?

    At my company, I made a time sheet and it has worked for me everytime. I'm wondering if it is user error or my set up that has caused the issues:
    SHEET ONE
    Date ARRIVE Lunch / Lunch / Lunch / Lunch / DEPART EXPLANATION OF TIME OUT
    TIME IN Other 1 Other 1 Other 2 Other 2 TIME OUT Total
    OUT RETURN OUT RETURN Hours
    3/19/2012 9:00 AM 12:00 PM 1:00 PM 5:00 PM -------- 7.00

    This is the format that the users can see. It translates it to the second page where the totaling of hours takes place.
    SHEET TWO
    time in time out time worked lunch 1 lunch 2 personal time Total Hours
    9:00:00 AM 5:00:00 PM 8 1 0 1 7.00

    time in =IF(Hours!B8="off",0,Hours!B8) this is so they can just write in the word "off" when they are out for the day
    time out =IF(Hours!G8="off",0,Hours!G8) ''
    time worked =(B2-A2) *24 putting it back into hours from a decimal as a proportion of the full day (x/24)
    lunch 1 =(Hours!D8-Hours!C8)*24 "
    lunch 2 =(Hours!F8-Hours!E8)*24 "
    personal time= D2+E2
    total hours= C2-F2 --> these are then translated back over to sheet 1 =IF('formulas don''t edit!'!G2=0," ",'formulas don''t edit!'!G2) so if they don't fill anything out then it is left blank (aka so they don't get confused why there are 0's in where they have yet to type)

    I hope all of this makes sense since it's set up so difficultly. My issue is, on the first page, the total hours column keeps going blank but only in the first row. I honestly thinks it's user error, but the same box has been empty on two different computers (2 different users)

    Thanks for the help.

    I just realized the format changed when I posted it... nothing lined up so it's now even harder to read. If by putting it in so everything lines up will help you answer the question then I will change and repost. thanks!

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'.
    To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.


    On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'.
    Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments.


    You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page.
    Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.


    To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file.


    To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page.
    Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.


    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    Hope that helps.
