- Monday Tuesday ...
- ---------------|----------
- IN 8:00 AM
- OUT 1:30 PM
-
- time(hrs) 5.50
-
- The IN and OUT are formatted with a time/date field. The time(hrs) is
- formatted with a normal real number (0.00). When the times are subtracted,
- they return a number with units of days. So to obtain hours, multiple by 24.0.
-
- Monday:'time(hrs)' = (Monday:OUT - Monday:IN )*24.0
