How to deduct time in excel

In Excel dates are whole numbers and times are fractions after that.

For example, today is 39533 so at noon (12:00 PM) would be 39533.5.

There are a couple of ways to subtract 30 minutes but one of the simplest is to convert it to a fraction of a day.

Just take your number and subtract the result of 30/24*60 (or 1440). 30/1440 = 0.020833...

You can also use the TIME function (= Your Original Time - TIME(0,30,0)) but if you notice when you enter the values in the TIME function it is doing the exact maths I mentioned earlier. 30 minutes is 0.020833... days.

Excel - time calculations

Hi there, I am trying to replicate a timesheet that we used in a previous role where the formula could calculate hours due/owed by the employee. I have managed to get the formula to work as long as the employee does their hours or over time but it will not show a negative result in the event that an employee does not do enough for that day. At present the calculation is relatively simple with a cell which adds up the finish time minus the start time and time taken for lunch (hours actual
