Can any help me?

I am trying to finalise a time sheet.
All the cells I am referring to have been custom formulated as[h]:mm
At Cell S13 Ihave a formula which shows the total number of hours and minutes worked over aone week (7 day period).
In Cell P2 I havethe fixed value of 36:00. Thisrepresents the total hours expected to be worked over the week.
And only If cell S13 has any value greater than 0 then Iwant to show in cell T13 only thosehours and minutes either as a minus if less than 36:00 or a plus if greaterthan 36:00.

For example if Cell S13 is blank or contains 0:00 then Iwant T14 to remain blank.
E.G. If Cell S13 has a total of 23:30 I want Cell T13 toshow as (minus) -12:30
E.G. If Cell S13 has a total of 45:15 then I want cell T13to show as 9:15
And finally if C13 has a total of 36:00 then T13 should show0:00 or blank.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Re: Hours and minutes question

=IF( OR( S13 = P2 , S13 = 0 , S13 = "" ) , "" , S13 - P2 )
that should show what you need

if P2 is greater than S13 - then it will be negative and if S13 is greater than P2 it will be positive

If S13 is 36 hours or identical to P3 , OR if S13 is zero or If S13 is blank - then it will show blank

BUT you talk of T14 and T13 as a result - which cell did you want to use OR both ?
if BOTH what are the rules for T13 and what are the rules for T14

Re: Hours and minutes question

See if the following formula works for you:

=IF(N(S13)>0,IF(S13<$P$2,"-","")&TEXT(ABS(S13-$P$2),"[h]:mm"),"")

Re: Hours and minutes question

Hi Tetra201, I have repeated your formula for other weeks and everything is fine, however I also have a running total cell which simply adds all the weeks totals together (- and + numbers) but this either is blank or shows #VALUE !. Can you assist with me with this? Also is it possible to have the negative numbers showing in red? Thank you again.

Re: Hours and minutes question

Hi again, this formula only seems to work if the number is positive, not negative, call you help?

Re: Hours and minutes question

=IF( OR( S13 = P2, S13 = 0, S13 = "" ), "", IF(S13 - P2<0,("-"&TEXT(ABS(S13-P13),"[H]:MM")),S13-P2) )

BUT the negative is a text NOT a number
so could do in a conditional format formula
left(cell, 1) = "-"
to format red

Re: Hours and minutes question

Thank you etaf, this now works perfectly. I have copied this formula to capture other weeks therefore each week shows if I have worked less than or more than 36hrs. I now want cell T2 t show the total (plus or minus) hours I have in my banked hours, but when I simply add or Sum each week I get the #VALUE ! sign. Can you please assist? Thank you
