Recalculation of Formula.

[Guest]

Hello everybody.
In cell F5 I have the formula '=(D5-C5-E5)*1440/60.
This formula will give me the duration of a work shift.
( D5 = Finish Time C5 = Start Time E5 = Lunch Break.)

In a seperate cell (Say H5) I want to put in general information, (Day off,
Late Shift, etc.) but if that information is "Sick day", I want F5 to
display 7.50 (as in hours) without any start or finish times in the other
cells.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanking you in anticipation

In F5: =IF(H5="Sick day",TIME(7,30,0),=(D5-C5-E5)*1440/60)

Thanks but I am getting an error when typing this in.
Please can you help further

I have tweaked Ian's formula (many thanks to him) to read
=IF(H5="sick day",Holidays!V4/5,(D5-C5-E5)*1440/60)

Holidays!V4 contains the number 37.50 or 40. This is for different contracts.
This now works correctly.

However,could you help me one stage further.
If H5 does contain the words "sick day", I would like the result of the
formula (either 7.50 or 8) to be in red. I would normally conditionally
format, but cannot do this because it is possible to actually work a 7.5hr or
8hr day and these cannot be in red.

Thanking you in anticipation again.

You can still use conditional formatting. In F5 select conditional
formatting, select Formula is and enter =H5="Sick day". Then select the
formatting you require.
