Hello, I am trying to figure out a way to calculate the time between start and finish for shifts, I managed to do that but I need one where from those hours it subtract automatically 30 minutes. Right now I am using =TEXT(<CELL1> - <CELL2>, "h:mm").
Can someone help me please.
For e.g the hours are all starting with 07:30 and ending in different times, like 18:00 - but for this hours it returns 10:30 and I need to subtract automatically the 30 minutes break.
Thank you!
 
one example is this: cell1 has: 07:30 and cell 2 has 18:00 - which returns 10 hours but as 10:00 from that formula and I would need just 10. The first formula with =hour works in this case but if I have let's say 07:30 and 17:30 it should return 9.5.
Try This.

Your Cell 1 should be the end time and Cell2 the start time.

=((<End> - <Start>)*24)-((TIME(0,30,0)*1440)/60)

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

=((<End> - <Start>)*24)-((TIME(0,30,0)*1440)/60) - this does not work. Is there a way to make it without having the column or row for break time. It is the same for every one, meaning 30 minutes and we do not include it in our datas. I am sorry to keep stressing out about this but I have been wrecking my brains searching for the past days in order to have that generated automatically because I already have to manually input the start and end time and I would love for the hours to be automated. I have to do this for hundreds of people daily.
