minus hours

I'm sure this has been asked before, but how do you enter minus hours.

I'm trying to start of the month with -6:00 hours flixi, but when
enter that number it comes up with an error

Hi,

Excel doesn't support negative time in it's "basic" settings. How ever
you can use "1904 date system" (Tools -> Options -> Calculation -> 190
date systems), which support negative time.

More info can be found from Excel help. In XL2003, it's under titl
"About dates and date systems"

Try:

-6/24

and format as time. Because it is negative, it will show
#########. However, the time can be still be used in
calculations. To display it as negative time in text
format, try:

=TEXT(-A1,"-[h]:mm")

Or just use the 1904 date system...
