Creating a Time Sheet in Numbers

[osirisX]

So I've been using Numbers to do a time sheet, but I've been calculating the total time manually. I'm tired of doing that and want Numbers to calculate total times for me. Doing a Google search resulted in this formula "=(End Time - Start Time)*24". What I want it to do is output the number in this format: Z Minutes or X Hours and Y Minutes. Anyone have any idea how to make Numbers do that?

I can get it to give a decimal form of the number of hours (ie., 1:30 - 8:45 gives me 7.25 hours) I think that if you want something more detailed, you might have to extract the hours and minutes values and calculate them separately.

I gave it a shot and came up with these formulas:

=MINUTE(TIME(0, ((({End Time} - {Start Time})*24)*60), 0)) --> will give you # of minutes

=HOUR(TIME(0, ((({End Time} - {Start Time})*24)*60), 0)) --> will give you # of Hours

With this formula, if Start Time = 9:55am and End Time = 8:45pm, then my result is

50 minutes and 10 hours, I think this is what you want.

okay, if you want your exact output, use this (an exact copy from my document:

= CONCATENATE(HOUR(TIME(0, (((C8-C7)*24)*60), 0)), " hours and ", MINUTE(TIME(0, (((C8-C7)*24)*60), 0)), " minutes")

Cell C7 = start time

Cell C8 = end time

you can use any cells you want by making appropriate changes to the formula, but this should get you started.

Hi, slacker this changuelo from the US your formula for a time sheet works for a daily time in and time out.
