    Work-shift spreadsheet

    Hi,

    Im trying to make it easier for me to write down and at the same time calculate how many hours a day im working. Im from norway so its hard for me to explain easily in english. But when we hand in our hours worked, instead of writing hours:minutes; like "today i worked 7 hours and 30 minutes" - we write 7.5 hours. is there a way to put that into a formula in excel?

    Ive managed to make a formula where it sums up the difference between start time and finish (eg: 9.30 am to 2 pm = "04:30" hours:minutes)
    But how can i make the sum be four and a half, instead of four hours and 30 minutes?


    Do any of you understand what im trying to do?

    Appreciate any answer!

    hi Dan, welcome to the forum. if your start time is in A1 & end time in B2, i suppose you do this?
    =B2-A1
    to make it show 4.5, simply do the subtraction first in brackets, and then multiply by 24 hours
    =(B1-A1)*24

    Format it to General.

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
