Calculate hours worked in a day - 4 steps:
Step 1: Data Entry
On Column A: Enter the days of the week
On Column B: Enter the time work started, in an hh:mm format
You may use AM/PM or military time, but be consistent within your timesheet
8:54 AM (8 colon 54 space AM)
5:00 PM (5 colon 00 spcae PM)
On Column C Enter the time work ended
Step 2: Calculate hours worked
On column D: Type: =SUM(C2-B2)*24
Change the cell format to "Number" with 2 decimal places.
Step 3: Calculate Pay
Cell H1 Type the hourly pay of that employee
On Column E: =SUM(D2*$H$1)
(The $-$ will prevent the cell number to roll over when you copy the formula down through the days of the week)
Step 4: Drag down and finish
Drag the formulas of Column D & E through the days of the week
Cell D9: For total hours, use =SUM(D2:D8)
Cell D10: For total pay, use =SUM(E2:E8)
