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.

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.

@Detlef Lewin yes, this has been worked , but SUM still not working if I select them sum shows on bottom .
