Converting time value to currency value


Posted by Sandana on December 21, 2001 8:32 PM


It looks simple and I'm totally stumped!

Cell A1 has a time value of 18:39:00.
(I've had to use hh:mm:ss so it would calculate past 24 hours) A1 is not an input cell but is calculated from a separate worksheet using the formula
=SUM(Sheet1!I51-"40:00:00"). This gives overtime hours.

My formulas are as follows:

A1 = 18:39:00
B1 = $17.01
C1 =SUM(A1*B1)

This is 18 hours, 39 minutes x $17.01.
C1 should equal $312.81
Instead it gives a value of $13.22

A1 is formatted for time
B1 is formatted for currency
C1 is formatted for currency

Time * currency = currency is what I want but the result is totally wrong.

I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help?

Thank you very much for any help you may provide.

Covnert 18:39 to hours and minutes by the following:

+HOUR(A1)+ MINUTE(A1)/60

Then multiply this by B1

Sandana --

In C1 enter: =A1*24*B1
