Okay, got it to work that way. Now, how to convert the :MM part to tenths of an hour? Probably should quit while I'm ahead on this one too. LOL Dianne You have to include the date with the time For example....type 7/4 3:00 in one cell Then type 7/5 2:00 in another cell When you subtract the first one from the second one, you will get 23:00 ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
