way to calculate time spent per day on a task in Excel
I have an Excel spreadsheet.
I have it autocalulating total time spent on a paricular project.
Further, I have columns for the following:
1. date
2. time spent
3. work completed
I want to be able to figure out how much time I have spent in a particular time frame. For instance, right now, I want to see how much time I have spent in the last eight days. Obviously, I can see how much
total time I have spent, but my desire is to specify dates and see how much work was put in during that time.

Jay,
In the Time Spent column, how is this listed? (hours, minutes, both?)
What is in the work completed column and is it necessary for your time spent between two dates?

Abach,
My time spent is listed in minutes.
My work completed just has a brief description of the work I did. For instance, if I read during one particular session, then I would put "read pages 300 - 314."
If I understand you correctly, it doesn't matter which column is where. In other words, the "time spent" column can be relocated (as well as all other categories).
Thanks for responding too :smileyhappy:

Essentially, what I want to do is an "if, then" function.
I want the command to say if column one (date) is 10/1 through 10/18, then "sum" the corresponding cells in column 3 (time spent on that particular activity in minutes).

Jay,
I've put together an Excel file with a macro that adds minutes according to a date range. You can right click and download it << here >>
To see the code, just press ALT-F11. You can then change the column and cell references to suit your file. If you need more help, let me know.

Abach,
You are one heck of a guy. I just got that macro to work. It is sweet. Thank you so much.
