Working with time calculations

[Gotroots]

When working with time calculations I am finding it difficuult to subtract a
specified time.

Example:

In: 8:46:00 AM C5

Out: 5:17:00 PM D5

Break: :45 min F5

Total: 8:31 =(D5-C5)-F5

The formula I used above returns an #VALUE! error

Thank you if you can help.

Hi

You have to enter the break as a true time in F5;

0:45

--Make sure the format of data in cells C5 and D5 are in excel time format.
To enter current time use Ctrl+Shift+semicolon and then edit the time to suit

--In F5 enter time as 00:45 instead of :45

--Apply the formula and custom format the cell as below. Right click>Format
