This will work in all versions of Microsoft Excel as it is simple math. In cell D2 write this formula and copy it in cells below: = C2 *24* B2 Now we can multiply it with C2 to get the correct value. When we multiply cell B2 with 24, we get 44 as the whole number. So to get the hours as a number, we need to multiply the cell with 24 first. So each value in B column is equal to “value/24” Well, when a cell is formatted as date and time, 1 translates to 24 in that cell. When you try to directly multiply cells in excel you will give an answer like this.įor Raju it is 189.3333. In column D we want the net payable amount for that employee.
