Open a fresh workbook. Don’t be scared of the white space—it’s just waiting for your genius. Start with Column A as “Date.”
Then Column B: “Start Time.” Column C: “End Time.” Simple as a sandwich. You’ve already built the skeleton of accountability.
Add a Column D for “Total Hours.” This is where the magic happens. Insert this formula: = (C2-B2)*24. Boom—Excel just became your personal time wizard.
Quirky Fact: Excel Hates Midnight
If you type “12:00 AM” as end time but forget the date, Excel thinks you worked zero hours. It’s a trap. Always add the date, or your timesheet will gaslight you.
This bug has launched a thousand frantic emails. You now know the secret handshake. Use it wisely.
