Each month 1.75 hours are earned, each week time is subtracted from the previous month’s balance.  The maximum number of hours that can be accumulated is 21.

I figured out that  =IF(G7>=21,"21")  will have it return 21 if the balance is over 21 hours.  I can’t seem to figure out how to have it show actual number of hours when they are less than 21.  I probably need to add a then statement but I can’t get it added without an error.

@Tlang2010 , you may use something like

=MIN(SUM(<hours>,21)
Specifically, the formula in G7 is:
=MIN(21,
SUM(G5,B7)-SUM(C7:F7))
