Sunday/Saturday Null
Judy wrote on December 31, 1969 19:00 EST

I am making a time sheet and I need to have Sunday and Saturday be null (I would like it to be blacked out if there is a way) I cant have it just from Mon to Fri since our work schedule is from Mon to Mon. Also is there a way to black out given dates for holidays?

lunch break

I need a time sheet sheet that will automatically deduct 1/2 hour if there is no entries in the lunch in/out columns..

For Null cells, just change the Fill color to black.

For missing lunch, use an IF statement.
For example, lunch out cell is C3, and time is totaled in D3.
=IF(C3=0,D3-30,D3)
Which says, if the lunch out cell is zero, take 30 away from the D3 total, otherwise leave the D3 total alone.

I am trying to create a spreadsheet and I need to total the hours worked. I also need to total the regular hours (up to 40 hours), and the over time hours (over 40 hours worked). Is this possible, and if it is how do I do it. Thanks so much for your help! ~ Jessica
