    Hourly wage

    Easy one here hopefully:

    See attachment. Picture 1.png

    What formula should I put into R3 (hourly wage) so that it divides the profit by the total time.

    I tried R3=P3/Q3 but I got $3.31 which is wrong. It should be around $10.60.

    Thanks.

    you need to convert 12:27 ( a time)
    to number of hours, eg 12.48

    =q3/z3*24

    in z3 enter 23:59:59

    then your formula will work

    No joy. I got something like 1,072 ??

    Q3 has the formula =SUM(I5:I54) if that is relevant.

    Could you explain in more detail what I have to do because I'm a bit confused.

    Thanks

    =P3/Q3/24 formatted as Currency
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Thanks but this is still not working. I put =P3/Q3/24 into R3 and got $0.12.

    I'll start again.

    Picture 2.png

    In R3 I need to divide P3 by Q3 to get the hourly wage.

    Codes are as follows:

    N3: =P3/O3
    O3: =SUM(F5:F54)
    P3: =INDEX(L4:L101,COUNT(L4:L101))-L4
    R3: ?

    Thanks.

    ok, I just put =P3/(Q3*24) into R3 and it reads $0.12 which is wrong.
    It should be $8.96.

    I have a theory on this. If Q3 is the sum of a bunch of times, then the times are adding up to multiple days simply because Excel counts days as part of all times. Try changing your formula to =P3/(Q3-Int(Q3))*24.
