Sorry to have repeat post.

EDIT: I just realized, if you ever have a time of MIDNIGHT, you may get this error. UGH.
So, maybe only check for blank cells:
Excel Formula:
=IF(OR(C3="",D3=""),0,YourFormula)

But those will cause downstream errors in your other formulas.
You can fix those with the N() function.

like this:
Excel Formula:
=N(G3)-N(J3)

or you can use the SUM() function with delimited cell references
Excel Formula:
=SUM(G3,J3)


But in all the columns with calculations that reference column G,I,J,&K. (I think those are the columns)
