employee schedule with hours

[Guest]

I am trying to create schedule for employees by tracking their hours in one
column (9am-4pm) and to find a formula that will calculate the total number
of hours in the next column. (9am-4pm) (7 hours)

I would advise that you use two columns - one for start time and
another one for finish time. Then you can get the hours in a third
column by subtracting start time from finish time and multiplying by
24.

Hope this helps.

If A1 =09:00 & B1=16:00 then hours worked in C1:

=B1-A1

I recommend you put Start & End times in different columns

Pete's response will give "hours worked" as decimal hours i.e 7 hours 30
minutes = 7.5, whilst my response will be time in hours/minutes. Pete's is
generally the "better" solution: note the "hours worked" cell should
formatted as General (or Number) in Pete's solution.
