Help with If statement to subtract time (follow up)

[richard.littlewing]

Hi all

I am trying to subtract 24 hours from a time if it is actually over 24 hours, if not then show 0

my formula works for everthing over 24 hours but can't get it show a 0 or under 24 hours.

In A1 8/3/2008 7:21

in B1 8/6/2008 15:36

in C1 I have =if(("B1-A1")>(A1+"1"),(B1-A1)-"1",0)

The answer is 56:15:00 which is what I want but if B1 is 8/3/2008 it is showing ##### indicating a negative time number

instead of 0

any help would be appreciated

I did receive two responses but both options didn't work as expected.

Try



=IF(B1-A1>1,B1-A1,0)


format as [h]:mm:ss

Why is it 56:15 not 80:15?

 

[Peo Sjoblom]

If you want 56:15


=IF(B1-A1>1,B1-A1-1,0)

format as [h]:mm:ss

Try this:

=MAX(0,(B1-A1)-"24:00")

format cell as [h]:mm:ss

Slightly shorter...

=MAX(0,B1-A1-1)
