calculating total time
I have two fields "start time" and "end time" for tracking my time on projects. on each line next to those fields i'd like to add a "total" field that automatically calculates the total time in hours and minutes. I thought there might be a function for this already, but i'm not finding it in the help files...any suggestions? -- bcamp1973 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bcamp1973's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32268 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=539940 |

calculating total time
Hi!
Just subtract the start time from the end time: A1 = start time = 7:30 AM B1 = end time = 5:45 PM Format the cell as [h]:mm =B1-A1 Returns 10:15 If the times might span past midnight use this formula: A1 = start time = 10:00 PM B1 = end time = 3:20 AM =B1-A1+(B1<A1) Returns 5:20 Biff "bcamp1973" wrote in message ...

calculating total time
Times in excel is just numbers so to get total time jus subtract
=B1-A1 where A1 is start and B1 end, if more than 24 hours use a custom format of [hh]:mm -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom http://nwexcelsolutions.com "bcamp1973" wrote in message ...
