Hello All,

I put together this formula that is supposed to be calculating overtime and it works if the hours exceed 40 but not less than 40. Can anybody assist me with this?

Code:
=(IF(S91>40,40*T91,S91*T91))+(IF(S91>40,((S91-40)*U91),""))

S column is hours worked
T column is regular pay rate
U column is overtime pay rate

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
=(IF(S91>40,40*T91,S91*T91))+(IF(S91>40,((S91-40)*U91),0))

it is trying to add a number to "" and is resulting in an error. I think that is what is causing you issues. Change the "" to 0.

Hi,

I think your formula should be:

Code:
=IF(S91>40,40*T91+(S91-40)*U91,S91*T91)
