    Google Sheets: Create an IF statement with a subtraction, multiple times. Display Result

    I think I am asking a simple question that I should be able to find the answer too online, but 30 minutes later I still cant work it out, so sorry in advance.

    I need to perform:

    IF A1 is greater than 6 subtract 0.5, store this result. IF CELL A2 is greater than 6 subtract 0.5, store this result and so on x7. Calculate the sum of the total.

    So i have

    =IF(A1>6)-0.5

    And I'm already wrong... I've no idea what I'm doing honestly and I can't find a simple source to explain it, I'm not really familiar atall with this.

    Thank you for your help, I see why attaching a sample is nessecary - unfortunatly I'm using GoogleSheets not Excel but have attached a link.
    Could you possibly have a look at what I'm creating here.

    CELL U7 is the problem (in CYAN).
    It needs to be linked to all of the hourly totals, if that makes sense to you?

    I am considering just paying someone to make this for me - I see this forum offers that, but I'd like to try to understand what I'm doing.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
