    Hi,
    Use ISTEXT or ISNUMBER function.
    Look at attached sheet and notice I added a collumb for hours worked for Monday.You can do that for every day and ad all the hours for the week in the last col.
    You can do it all in one formula in the last col.,but as you can see, it will be a very long and complicated formula.
    Be sure to format the "Hours" collumb as number, else your result could be in "Time of day" instead of hours.

    Regards
    Dan

    I think the version you have is incorrect (regardless of text) assuming you wish to deduct 30 minutes per day.

    If the shifts never cross midnight then the below should suffice:

    If shifts do cross midnight you can use a SUMPRODUCT approach with MOD (though an Array may prove to be preferable given Text etc...)
