entering time in and time out

[Guest]

I am trying to create a simple spreadsheet that will calculate hours worked. Having troubles getting the time format correct for formula and to also be simply entered. I want to be able to enter the "date" once in Col A, "Time in"= Col B, "Time out" Col C, hours worked=Col D. My problem is entering the time to meet the formula's needs. In other words I don't want to have to enter entire date and time for both col B and C. I want to use military time. Suggestions??

Paula,

Just put =C1-B1 in D1, and format as time.
