Formula Help: Only calculate when all cells have a value












0















I need help with my formula. I only want it to calculate when both H1 and I1 have a value and then run formula.



I convert 24hr time to 00/00 which becomes text then it gets subtracted.



=IF(I5<>"",TEXT(I5,"00:00")-TEXT(H5,"00:00")+(H5>I5),"")



Please help.

  • A text cannot be subtracted from a text. a number can. Can you please clarify what is the contents in I5 & H5 , is it a text or a value that is formatted as excel time..

  • Sorry about the confusion: I5 and H5 and - will have time in from 0000-2359. It is then converted to 00:00. I need to know when something enters a location at different time stamps. The problem that i have is that this is connected to a live dashboard that feeds from that data. Sometimes the times are entered in late and it throws off the dashboard. That why i want it to only calculate when both fields have a value .
