Excel cannot handle negative times. If you start working at 11:00 pm and finish at 7:00 am, Excel doesn't understand it's a new day.
Here are 3 methods on how to explain Excel that you finished working at 7:00 am of the following day.
Method A:
Enter the full date and time you logged in and logged out.
In cell A1, enter: 6/1/2008 11:00:00 PM
In cell B1 enter: 6/2/2008 7:00:00 AM
In cell C1, enter: =SUM(B1-A1)*24
Format as number
Method B:
In cell C1, enter:
=(IF(A1>B1,B1+1-A1,B1-A1))*24
Format the cell to "Number".
You are telling excel:
If A1 (11:00 pm) is bigger than B1 (7:00 am), than add one day to B1 (7:00 am), and only after that subtract it from 11:00 pm.
However, if that's not the case, than simply do B1 - A1
When you are done, multiply my total by 24.
Method C:
=(B1-A1+(B1<A1))*24
You are telling excel to:
"Subtract B1 from A1", plus:
"B1 (7:00 am) is smaller than A1 (11:00 pm)". Is it true?
If it's true or One, add 1 (one day)
If it's False or Zero, add zero.
Multiple my total by 24.
Think Different, think Night shifts.
