As you undoubtely noticed, the number 8.45 does NOT represent 8 hours and 45 minutes, but 8 hours and .45 of an hour, which is 8 hours and 27 minutes. you cannot simply subtract these number and interpret the numbers as time. Now, to excel, a DATE is actually the number of days since 1/1/1900. So, Saturday, February 01, 2014 is actually stored in Excel as: 41671 TIME in Excel is a fractional part of a day. 8:45 AM is actually .3645833 of a day. 8:10 PM is actually .8402778 of a day. THESE numbers you can subtract (.47569444) since there are 24 hours in a day, then 24*.47569444 = 11.4166667 hours. So, your task is to convert your numeric representation: 8.45 to an actual excel "time" value. there is an Excel function called TIME(), which takes hours, minutes and seconds and converts it to an excel time. The "hours" portion of 8.45 is found by using int() For the in-time in cell C3, you can use =INT(C3) (results in 8) For the "minutes" portion, you have to subtract the hours: =C3-INT(C3) But that gives you .45 so multiply it by 100 to get "45": =(C3-INT(C3))*100 the end result is: =TIME(INT(C3),(C3-INT(C3))*100,0) Now, your "OUT TIME" is done the same way, but the hour figure needs to have 12 added to it go show a PM time: =TIME(INT(D3)+12,(D3-INT(D3))*100,0) This gives you two "Excel time" values, which you can subtract to get the fractional part of a day: .47569444 Now, since there are 24 hours in a day, you need to multiply this value by 24 to get: 11.4166667 hours (which is .4166667 HOURS, not 41.667 minutes!) let me know if you need help applying this logic to your workbook.
