So I am trying to create a custom cell format to show the Turn around time for a task. For example, someone spend 11 hours and 30 minutes on a task. I have the formula written to calculate the TAT, but it shows as 11:30 as the time it took, but I want that to show as 1.44 (or in in other words....11 hours spent in an 8 hours a day = 1 day and 3.5 hours ~ divded by 8 hours in a day is .4375...so final should be something like 1.44 (rounded up) I know it all has to do with the way the cell is formatted, but I am unclear what the proper format should be. Can you help me write the custom cell format please? Thanks in advance for your help.
 
To add to the above, you could add the formula from either M or N to the end of the formula in P to eliminate all the extra cells, and then format whichever way you want.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Thank you so much. That worked. I so appreciate your help. I know it took some time, but so grateful I have what I need. :)
