Excel - Display Negative Time

Post by doo_much »

OK - I'm busy with a basic timesheet.

Basically I calculate the hours for the week and display it in [h]:mm format.

I need to display the time worked in excess of or less than 40hrs.

But when I do:
"=sum('time worked' - '40 hrs')"
and the guy has worked less than 40 hrs - instead of giving me a nice short hours worked figure it gives me an error.

I can fix this using a multitide of if's and other calculations but .... :x

Any ideas on how to do this easily?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.
