i know its an issue with brackets but can't get it to work, want to do away with col E to tidy things up
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

worked out initial problem
I'm not sure you have. If C3 or D3 is blank then your F3 formula will return an error. It should be
Excel Formula:
=IF(OR(C3="",D3=""),"",(D3-C3)*24)

but generated another from i col i should show 9:15 but instead shows 23:15
Try this in I3
Excel Formula:
=IF(OR(C3="",D3=""),"",F3/24-G3)
or
Excel Formula:
=IF(OR(C3="",D3=""),"",D3-C3-G3)

BTW, if you are still looking for help in a thread, probably best to remove the "Mark as solution". Many helpers will not even look at your thread if they see it already has a solution.
