    Calculating Time difference not working

    Ok... This is driving me crazy. This should be a simple formula but I can not get it to work.

    I am trying to calculate the difference between 2 times such as 19:20 - 23:47. Now this works fine and gives me a result but..... I want to minus 30 minutes from the overall time. I have to do this becuase we always deduct 30 minutes from our overall wait time. Everytime I do this it gives me ########### and tells me that the number is negative. How can I calcutalte the differnce between the times including a deduction of 30 minutes off the over all wait time in the format of hour:minutes

    Please help, I have been trying for hours

    Try:

    =B1-A1-"00:30"

    where A1 contains start time and B1 contains end time
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
