I need help

How can I get the total hours of a person who works from 8:30am to 5:30pm.

For Example: 8:30am - 5:30pm that's 9hours minus 1hour(break)= 8hours. what is the formula for this problem ?

Thank's

John

I have a similar problem, but total hours worked 18:45pm to 08:30am (night shift) My employer calculates the time (00:00) into total in decimal eg: 13.75. How do I do the same? Anyone know a formula?

Assuming A1 = Start time, B1 = End Time and C1 = Lunch duration (all in h:mm format)
Put the following in cell D1
=IF(A1>B1,B1-A1-C1+1,B1-A1-C1)*24

You need to break it up into two calculations; subtract the start time from midnight (24:00), then add that to the end time to get the total time. To convert that to a decimal time, in a cell formatted as General, multiply the total time by 24.
