CHOOSE Formula not working ?
samirl wrote on August 03, 2005 14:34 EST |
I am not really good with some of these formulae, so tried it. The CHOOSE formula in the example is not working.
I entered this formula in in COLUMN D
(Column A = A numeric ID, Column B - Date, Column C contains the times - formatted as time)
Tried with 9 rows and more - is there a typo or am I doing something wrong ? |

Could you post back with some sample data, the formulae you are using, the results you are getting, and the results you want to get.
Thanks,

Try this

Total 37.5
if you wanted to work out gross hours for monday, enter this in the same row as mondays hours (In cell H): =TEXT(G6-D6,"hh:mm")
Lunch Total Time would be (In Cell I): =TEXT(F6-E6,"hh:mm")
Nett hours minus lunch would be (IN Cell J): =TEXT(H6-I6,"hh:mm") |

Obviously you could put that in as an array formula to make it easier if you have more two or three starts and stops.

Calculating Hours Worked
boomer wrote on August 11, 2005 17:33 EST |
Your example works fine when I tried it however how did you
convert 08:15 to 8.25 so the weekly hours can be summed up?
Thanks

Peter[/QUOTE]To convert a timevalue of 8:15 to the value 8.25 you just multiply by 24.
However, you can just sum up the timevalues as they are, and by keeping them as timevalues, they are easier to work with generally.
The other advantage is that you can format them to show up nicely as hours:mins or whatever you need.

Creating a timesheet with after midnight values
Lee Ann wrote on December 31, 1969 19:00 EST |
I need to track up to 20 employees daily hours worked.
The start time is 6pm the end time is sometimes after midnight. I also need tp deduct lunch breaks, to get total hours for each employee. I have the basics of excel and can get the formula to work for times before midnight but not after. Not sure how to format cells in time format and what to do after.
Can someone help me I am very frustrated and not that good with excel.

Help with Time Sheet
tppcsjv wrote on November 09, 2005 14:43 EST |
| I am trying to figure out how to add up hours worked in the excel sheets. All of the previous forum admissions that I have read have talked about making sure to associate the formula with the date and year. All I want to do is put in a formula that, after I enter the time in and time out, will calculate for me the total hours worked and allocate time and a half and double time for me. We have a column for time in, another for time out, one for regular time, one for over time, one for double time, one for paid time off and each paid week has a total at the bottom. We also have staff that start work at 11pm one day and get off of work at 7am the next morning. Please help. Thanx in advance. |

All of the previous forum admissions that I have read have talked about making sure to associate the formula with the date and year.[/quote]That is correct - although especially if you want to enter times that go across midnight (which you do from what you say below).

Other calcs, such as over time etc will obviously depend on your terms, but might perhaps only kick in where someone has worked more than 50 hours a week (say)?
[quote]We also have staff that start work at 11pm one day and get off of work at 7am the next morning. Please help. Thanx in advance.[/QUOTE]That shouldn't matter if you enter the date / time in all cases. It will still be TimeOut - TimeIn. For example:
TimeIn = 23:00 hrs on 11 Nov 2005 (= 38667.958333... as a date / time value)
TimeOut = 07:00 hrs on 12 Nov 2005 (= 38668.291666... as a date / time value)
TimeOut - TimeIn = 8 hours (= 0.333... as a date / time value being 1/3 of a day)

Total hrs as 08:30 not 8.5...
hvg118 wrote on December 31, 1969 19:00 EST |
I can do the timesheet formula for adding the hours worked as follows:
Start Finish Total
08:45 17:15 8.5
However, it doesn't work when I fill in a whole week work of hours in this format:
Start Finish Total
08:45 17:15 08:30
It works on a daily basis, but when total hours exceeds 24, the formula get's all mixed up - how to I format the total column to account for every 5 minutes worked, which you can't do when converting to decimal??
Thnaks in advance, H

Hours worked minus Lunch

What if they only have the start time and stop time and the time for lunch
ie.
Time In Time Out Lunch
7:30 AM 5:00 PM :30
How would you calculate hours worked minus Lunch? The result I am looking for is 9:00
Thanks |
daddylonglegs wrote on March 17, 2007 20:48 EST |
Your lunch would have to be a recognisable time in excel, probably 0:30 then you just use
=B2-A2-C2
format result cell as h:mm
where A2 contains start time, B2 end time and C2 lunch
If your shift might cross midnight, e.g. 11:00 PM to 07:00 AM change to
=MOD(B2-A2,1)-C2 |

If you mean a decimal value in hours, e.g. to convert 8.6 to 8:36 just divide by 24, e.g.
=A1/24
format as [h]:mm |
