I'm trying to do the following:
In the attached file, I'd like to subtract whichever is the earliest time between B4 or C4 from A4, then B5 or C5 from A5, etc.
I assume I need a conditional "if" statement but I'm not sure if that will work.

1st problem concerns entering data as text and it being converted to time. I have found the formula 00:00 which does an excellant job of converting. However, when I want to subtract, (=a2-a1) for example, it treats the time as a number. Sometimes it works, but if the hours are different, say 23:30- 22:10, it will subtract 2330-2210! Is there a way to make this work?
2nd problem, related to the first is when I try to avg a column of times, I get a similar effect.
i am tracking my working hours at night, so i type in the time i start and the time i quit like this:
A 1 start B 1 end
A 2 22:30 B 2 02:30
now i want to calculate the time between.
but since excel don't like the negative time i got a problem. i figure i must make a function something like
=IF(B2<A1,B2+24)
i have tried a few but i don't get the parameters right so i get errors,
I have a formula calculating time to the second (e.g HH:MM:SS). I am calculating the difference from the time something was scheduled to be done vs. when it was actually completed. What I can't get Excel to do is calculate the same time but listing the time in negative, as if the project went over and by how much.
I know how to do this in numbers view, but unable to do this in time view.
I’m trying to get the difference between times, BUT I want to account for “negative” time. So if I project that an employee will finish a task at 2 am, and they finished at 2:30 am, I want the result to be -:30, not just :30. If they finished at 1:30 then it would just be :30. Hence, my dilemma. I can get the difference, but didn't think Excel could recognize negative times. Right now I am using =MOD((A1-A2),1) or =(A1-A2+(A1<A2))*24/24 and in cells A1+A2 I am using military time.

I am doing everything in Military time. This is the finial peice of the puzzle.
Our shift begins at 18:00 and ends up until 7:00 (am) or so depending onwork
A1 I have a time (Projected-Estimate of when all work should be done)
A2 I have a time (Actual- Time the work was actually complete.)
A3 Will be show the difference in either a Negative or Positive time.
Three Examples: (The first two work as is and are perfect) ....
how to do that? In "mm:ss" format if possible
View 2 Replies View RelatedData from a SQL database represents time of day as a string of x's when imported into Excel. With CLEAN, I found that noon is -0.5.
This means that the calculation being used for noon is (24 * -0.5), or -12, meaning "go to the end of the 24 hour day, then go back half a day to noon." Similar calculations work other times of day.
Time entries that start in one day and end in the next are not allowed, so there is no problem with a change in day,
How can I convert this to the AM/PM time that my users need?
My worksheet takes a time feed in the format '00:01:05' and I want to trigger an event when it goes to negative (eg, -00:01:05). But I have no idea how to handle it.

View 2 Replies View Related(First please don't send me a link on how to subtract time or show Negative time. I know about 1904 ect.. I can't use that. I need a variation on the formula I am using if possible)
A1 I have a time
A2 I have a time
A3 I have a formula subtracting A2 from A1
The times will vary in A1 & A2. Sometimes A1 will be earlier or later thus giving me negative or positive times. I have a formula that will give me a correct answer but will always show either Positive or Neg depending on what I put in the last part of the formula "-H:MM or H::MM" =TEXT(MAX($A$1:$A$2)-MIN($A$1:$A$2),"-H::MM") in A3. I want it to do the subtraction but say if A1 is > than A2 then "-H::mm", If A1 is < A2 then "h::mm". I don't know if that is possibly or how to incorporate that into what I have.
It seems that time (i.e. -1:00) will be default as #########, etc. This makes me very unhappy. How to get around?
I could be fine with converting time to a total in seconds (i.e. 1:00 converted to 60 seconds)... but I'm not sure what kind of formula could do that.
I have one service level sheet where i used data in time format. I am getting error while using this sheet. I will just explain it in simple way...............
Please find below mentioned details.
Cell C D F
1 23:04 23:13 00:03
In cell G1 i have formula to get time difference between cell C1 and D1 and its give me difference between these both time as 00:09.
Formula is =IF(OR(ISBLANK(C1),ISBLANK(D1)),"",D1-C1)
In cell H1 i have formula to get difference time between cell C1 and F1.
Formula is =IF(OR(ISBLANK(C1),ISBLANK(F1)),"",F1-C1)
But in Cell H1 i am getting Error as Negative time or date display as ########
Is there anyway where i can get Exact time diffrence between Cell F1 and Cell C1
the Times work fine 22:00pm to 5:30am or 6:00am to 5:30am
Formulas
J4
=IF(ISNUMBER(D4),(D4>E4)*MEDIAN(0,E4-N$4,O$4-N$4)+MAX(0,MIN(O$4,E4+(D4>E4))-MAX(N$4,D4))-F4-L4,0)
K4
=IF(ISNUMBER(D4),MAX(0,MOD(E4-D4,1)-J4-L4-M4-I4-F4),0)
L4
=IF(ISNUMBER(D4),IF(MOD(E4-D4,1)-F4>P$4,(MOD(D4+P$4,1)>E4)*MEDIAN(0,E4-N$4,O$4-N$4)+MAX(0,MIN(O$4,E4+(MOD(D4+P$4,1)>E4))-MAX(N$4,MOD(D4+P$4,1))),0),0)
M4
=IF(ISNUMBER(D4),MAX(MOD(E4-D4,1)-F4-I4-L4-P$4,0),0)
but if I try 22:00pm to 6:00am or later
The following is displayed
Negative Time in J4 and the wrong result in K4
this is not what I need
It should be showing the following
J4 2:00 K4 5:00 L4 00:00 M4 00:00
I have devised a simple formula when a member of staff enters a date and time into a cell it starts deducting from todays date and time. ie:
Cell A1 - Date and time is entered by staff
Cell B1 - Is the above cell +24hrs
Cell C1 - NOW()
Cell D1 - B1-C1 Formatted in hours ( [h] :mm:ss (Like a count down clock)
The problem i have is that i cannot get Cell D1 to show minus ours it just goes to negative and shows continous #####. Is there any way i can get Cell D1 to show the hours it has gone minus by.
I have a problem with adding time values. The idea of my spreadsheet is to count time worked, and then calculate any variance from the normal shift length (i.e. 7h 30m). My formulas work fine until I work less than 7h 30m in a shift.
Example:
A1=start time
A2=end time
A3=IF(A2="","",MOD(A2-A1,1))
A4=IF(A3="","",(A3-(TIME(7,30,0))))
When the duration is over 7h 30m, A4 correctly returns the value of extra minutes. But when the duration is under 7h 30m the return is #####.
PS A1:A2 are formatted in a custom format hh:mm and A3:A4 are formatted as h:mm, and I'm using Win7 & MS Office 2010.
EXCEL 2010. I have a column of negative and positive times (eg. -00:52, -03:07, 06:02) in custom hh:mm format, and would like a new column rounding these times to the nearest negative or positive hour (with just the whole hours displayed), so I need a formula that would give me (for this example) -1, -3, 6, etc.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large dataset (24000 rows) that requires me to multiply two different columns of integers. In some cases, the two integers are both negative and multiplying them results in a product that is positive. I actually need that product to be negative rather than positive. I can't quite seem to figure out the best way to accomplish this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have data that comes from a subsytem that places the negative sign at the right of the number, so it is recognized as text. I can get around this using find and replace and then a second step to multiply that by -1, but is there a formula that can do this for me?

I have data starting in E7. I want it to go down the column and find the negative numbers. If it finds one then I want it to change the number in the row to the left of it to a negative. So if E67 is a negative number, make D67 a negative and so forth down the line Sounds "simple" but how do I do it?

Im using the following formula
=IF(E5"",NETWORKDAYS(E5,IF(F5="",TODAY(),F5),Holidays),"")
to calculate training shifts spent in my training centre. We have 2 sets of occupational groups, those of underground & those of surface. I need to subtract 1 shift from the formula but only for the underground guys.
I have data that when added together will have decimals of .1 or .2. Any decimal great than .2 becomes an integre of 1 and is added to the other integres. for example: 1.1, 2.0, 3.2, 5.1=12.1.
I now want to subtract this total from another amount that will give me values with decimals of .1 or .2, example: 59-12.1=46.2 not 46.8. The same if 62-8.1=53.2.
Is there a " Sum" function that can be used for a cumulative series of subtractions?
For example, if I have 10, 12 and 15 in 3 respective cells, and use the sum function upon them, it will return 37.
However, I want to say 10 minus 12 minus 15, and thus return -17.

View 4 Replies View Relatedcell A1 contains the numeric value: 3961.3
cell A2 contains the follwing: ="z equals "&B3-3933.7
which i would expect to give me: "z equals 27.6"
BUT, it gives me: "z equals 27.600000004"
which is awefully strange becos the 4 comes form nowhere...
what makes some sort of sense is that if the value in A1 is changed to 3961.4 or 3961.5, then the final decimal 4 in A2 changes into a 3, and then a 2.
when the value in A1 is changed to xxxx.7 the number in cell A2 becomes what one would expect it to be.
how do i get rid of these strange decimals???
(formatting cells, setting number of significant figures does not work. i naturally already tried that)
