    Hi benoj2005,

    Try using below formula:-

    =MROUND(I16,0.0104166666666667)

    where I16 cell has the time

    See attached:- Hours Totals & Rounding.xlsx

    is required if the time to be rounded down is only a few minutes after midnight.

    That causes the total for the day to change to #####

    That works for clock IN's but not for Clock OUT's, which need to round DOWN, not UP

    You have 00:00-15:15, which may look fine to us humans, but for Excel it results in a negative time, which it cannot handle. To get around this, you would have to add 1 day when "Interval Out" is greater than "Interval In". i.e. when the shift goes over into the next day. Try this in C9:

    Thanks, that worked.

    You'd think they'd have some functions for dealing with time like this.

    All sorted, solution here if anyone wants for future Hours Totals & Rounding.xlsx
