    Formula for computing work time in Excel

    Hi,

    For instance, A1 = 8:20, B1 = 16:30.
    I need to compute in C1 the following: B1 - A1 - 0.5 hour.

    What is the formula?

    If I use formula B1 - A1 - 0:30 I get invalid value.

    Thanks,

    That's because time is really just a floating point number.

    1 is 1 day
    and hour is 1/24
    a half hour is 1/48

    =B1 - A1 - 1/48

    will work just fine
