Is there a formula to deduct a 20 min break from hours worked when the hours are greater than 5hrs 59 mins and show the actual hours if less than 6 I.e. anything less than 6 won't have a break deducted?

Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
I'm assuming you have a field for hours worked. How is it formatted?

Hi, start and finish hrs are h:mm AM/PM, total hours worked hh:mm using =mod(finish time-start time,1)

I have column hrs minus break as =if(and(isnumber(starttime),isnumber(finishtime)),mod(finishtime-starttime,1)-if(weekday(datecell,1)>0,0.33/24,1,24),0*24)

I can't figure out to only take 20 mins off anything above 5hrs 59 mins or just show hours worked if less than 6hrs?

I don't know if this is the most elegant way to do it, but it seems to work.

1Start timeEnd TimeTime workedTime less 20 min if 6 or more hours
28:00:00 AM1:00:00 PM5:005:00
38:00:00 AM4:00:00 PM8:007:40

RangeFormula
C2:C3C2=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm")
D2:D3D2=IF(VALUE(TEXT(B2-A2,"h"))>=6, TEXT(B2-A2-1/72,"h:mm"), TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm"))
