Calculate time with a break and total hours

[Anita]

I'm trying to calculate length of hours with a break included, but I'm not
sure it's calculating correctly. Here's what I have in military time:

C6=8:00
C7=12:30
C8=13:30
C9=17:25

The formula I have to calculate the total of those hours is:
=C9-C6-1/24+(C9>C6)

The break is usually 1 hour, but it can be less or more than 1 hour so I'd
like to change my formula if possible to allow for that variation.

I'm also trying to add the total hours together, but it's not displaying
right. My hours are:

8:25 + 8:15 + 8:15 + 8:25 + 8:00 = 6.72

I used the sum function, but I know all that adds up to more than 6.72.

TIA!
Anita

Hi,
Try this formula for the first question:
=C7-C6+C9-C8
Not sure about the second question

Hi,
For your second question, try formatting the cells with:
[h]:mm (including the Total)

Thanks Dave! That worked perfectly.

I tried that and it didn't work. Any other ideas

LeAnn,

If you want a solution to your problem, you need to do explain what "doesn't
work" means. No one can guess what's happening. You have to tell us. If it
gives the wrong result, tell us what result you got, and what you expected.

However, if you just want to be a victim ("poor me, this is an impossible
task"), ignore this post.

Regards,
Fred.
