Hi al

Can somebody help with a formula that will check the time difference between two times (in column E & G) and if under 6hrs then deduct 15mins time and if => 6hrs then deduct 30mins
I currently use this formula (in column I) to calculate the time and deduct 30mins regardless
=IF(ISBLANK(H357),"",IF(H357="N",G357-E357,8/24)-(1/48))

EFGHI
26/03/2020 07:15:00​
26/03/2020 13:14:00​
N​
05:29​

So with above example the correct result in column I should be 05:44 as the time difference is under 6hrs and only 15mins should be deducted. not 30


TIA

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
In very simple terms, it would look like this
Code:
=IF(G1-E1<1/4,G1-E1-1/96,G1-E1-1/48)
, 1/4(6 hrs)

Excellent, how to adapt slightly also to show blank if column H holds a Y value (continue with formula if holds N value)

Assuming it is only N that makes it execute then the formula, then
Code:
=IF(H1="N",IF(G1-E1<1/4,G1-E1-1/96,G1-E1-1/48),"")
