Time Calculation
Hello experts,
Question on how to add hours to a time... E.g., I have a time in A1 (let's say 6:06 AM) I want to add an amount to A1 (let's say 8.5 hrs in cell B1) My formula in C1 = A1+ Time(B1,30,0) [i'm adding a half hour for lunch] My formula returns 2:36 PM, I want it to return 3:06 PM (6:06 AM plus 8.5 hrs plus 30 minutes). This formula works well when the amount in B1 is an integer (I know this is obvious because the Time function reads Time(hour, minute, second). I need a way to calculate a partial hour. I'd like this formula to remain dynamic; i.e., allowing me to dump my start time in one cell, my hours (any hour(s)) in another cell, and my ending hours in the final cell. Keep in mind the time in A1 will change daily, as well as the hours in cell B1; the 30 min for lunch, however, will not. Thoughts? |

Are you sure, Fred? That would work if B1 was 8:30, but I believe that the
OP meant that he had 8.5 in B1. In that case, he needs =A1+B1/24+time(0,30,0) -- David Biddulph "Fred Smith" wrote in message ...

It doesn't seem to recognize cell B1 as hours. Maybe I need to format the cell in another manner? |

Thanks for catching the error, Dave. I was fixated on the wrong parameters for
the Time function, I forgot to verify whether b1 was time or hours. -- Regards, Fred "David Biddulph" groups [at] biddulph.org.uk wrote in message ... Are you sure, Fred?
