Need help calculating overtime to date

So here's the deal... I need to calculate the total number of overtime hours to date. I've searched the threads but have come up short with what I need to accomplish.

My spreadsheet has a TOTAL OVERTIME cell (A5). Cells B5 through BA5 represent the 52 weeks in a year. Each time a value is entered in any of those cells, I would like the TOTAL OVERTIME value to update (overtime is anything over 40 hours). So if 41 is entered in B5, the total overtime to date would be 1. If 44 is entered in C5, the total overtime to date would be 5 hours (1 hour from the previous week and 4 hours from this week).

This is the formula I found, but this only does one 40 hour period. I need something a little more complex.

=IF(A5>=40,SUM(A5-40),"0")

Thanks in advance!

Matt W

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B5:BA5>40),--(B5:BA5))-SUMPRODUCT(--(B5:BA5>40))*40

or

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B5:BA5>40),--(B5:BA5))-COUNTIF(B5:BA5,">40")*40

Try to use the following array function in cell A5
(assume that the standard full time is 40 hours)

=SUM(IF((($B$5:$BA$5)>40),$B$5:$BA$5-40))

Hi

One way
=SUM(B5:BA5)-COUNTIF(B5:BA5,">0")*40

Basically, add all the hours in the range then deduct 40 times the
number of weeks that have data within them (>0).

This seems to work. It is an array formula so you must use
Ctrl-Shift-Enter to commit it.

{=SUM(IF(B5:BA5>40,B5:BA5-40),0)}

(Note the { } symbols are not entered but are automatically inserted
when you commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.)

One way:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B5:BA5>40),(B5:BA5-40))

This assumes that the minimum number of hours worked is 40. If someone
worked 39 hours in a week, the total would not be correct.

Thank you ALL for your replies! Your input was extremely helpful!

You're quite right, John, my argument is flawed.
Your's, and the other solutions posted will solve the OP's problem
without the error that mine would potentially have had.
