Remove lunch time from Total Time in Access.












0














I am doing a datediff in an access field that I now need to also remove a 50 minute lunch break from. Everything I have tried has created crazy numbers. This is the function that works correctly without removing the lunch break:



=(DateDiff("n",[DispatchTime],[ReturnTime]))60 & Format((DateDiff("n",[DispatchTime],[ReturnTime])) Mod 60,":00")


Then I try:



=(DateDiff("n",[DispatchTime],[ReturnTime]-.5))60 & Format((DateDiff("n",[DispatchTime],[ReturnTime]-.5)) Mod 60,":00")


How can I do this? and still show in h:mm format?

          The following should suffice:



          =Format(DateAdd("n",-50,[ReturnTime])-[DispatchTime],"h:nn")

            And the format should be "h:nn".

          Return Time - .5 will remove 1/2 a day e.g.12 hours.



          DateAdd ("n",-50, [YourDatefield]) will subtract 50 minutes.
