    You use "10:00" in your formula. That is text. And SUM() ignores text.

    Either convert with TIMEVALUE() or double-negative or use TIME() or 10/24.

    The values in column F are left-aligned. That suggests they might be text values.

    Try the following:

    • Select column F.
    • Set the number format to a time format,
    • On the Data tab of the ribbon, click Text to Columns.
    • Click Finish.

    Does that make a difference?

      There is also formula to get answer of time spend on work . Formula is =MOD(D251-C251,1). IN ‘G’ column have a nested formula IF that’s show in pic , but I need a sum of G column which is last column on right

        Could you attach a sample workbook (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar? Thanks in advance.
