    converting Time to units

    our company works with iso standards.we need to put in our start time and
    finished time ( in 24 hour format ). The shifts start at 06:00 and finishes
    at 18:00, but this is when the next shift starts 18:00 to 06:00.

    A1=Start Time B1= Finished Time C1 = Actual Time
    23:00 01:24 2.4

    iso standards 1 unit = 6 minutes

    i found one thread that show this formulaa which works up to midnight but
    after that it don't

    =Round((A1-B1)*24,2)

    any help on this matter or any direction is greatly appreciated and Thank
    You in advance.

    Thank You for a quick response. Unfortunately this did not work

    A1= Start Time 18:00
    B1= Finished Time 18:30
    c1=ROUND((A1+IF(B1>A1,1,0)-B1)*24,2)
    result in C1 was 23.5 where it should be 0.5

    Re: converting Time to units

    The operator should have been '<', not '>':

    =round((A1+if(b1<a1,1,0)-b1)*24,2)

    Re: converting Time to units

    Thanks Fred, you were correct on the operator and this did work.

    this formula also works
    =24*(IF(A1>B1,B1+1-A1,B1-A1))

    i remeber read some where once before about iso dates and times on chip
    pearsons web site so I thought I'd check it out.

    Thanks Chip, Fred and Neil for all Your Help

    No problem. I knew you'd catch the error as well -- I just happened on the
    thread before you did.

    Do you need the result rounded to the nearest 6 minutes? If so you need to round to 1 decimal place not 2. You can use this formula

    =ROUND(MOD(B1-A1,1)*24,1)

    alternatively, if all your start and end times are always shown in 6 minute increments then the rounding is superfluous, just use

    =MOD(B1-A1,1)*24
