Man, after watching this, even those old Steven Seagal movies actually seem kind of believable and... I don't know, maybe even watchable?!! 🙂

The movie has some decent effects, I guess, but I’m just totally clueless about this stuff... honestly, a group of kids could probably film something more believable!!
First issue... there's this alien creature called Ursa... and the whole storyline is just poorly handled—like, how does Ursa manage to climb all the way up to the 22nd floor where his family lives without having slaughtered 34,000 other people along the way? It’s like she just popped into his apartment—you know, knocked on the door like, "hello, I'm Ursa, groaaarrrrr!!"
Second issue... his son goes sprinting across a planet where the temperature swings between day and night are absolutely extreme, and before he can even freeze solid, he somehow happens to stumble right into a cave covered in prehistoric cave paintings... I mean, come on... he just happens to fly straight into a cave filled with Neanderthal drawings!!!!
Third issue... if the temperature difference between day and night is so intense that a human being couldn't survive a single night from the cold... then you couldn't possibly have a jungle like you see in Costa Rica or massive redwood forests with lush greenery and tons of diverse wildlife everywhere...
Fourth issue... a gap of 1,000 years is just way too small for life on Earth to evolve into what they show in the movie... I mean, 1,000 years isn't even a blink of an eye in terms of evolution! They showed these new species of wild cats, and that eagle with a 12-meter wingspan building these completely enclosed nests... and then finally, a lion-hyena hybrid climbing trees to get at the bird's eggs... hahaha... I don't think hyenas climb trees to raid nests, let alone lions... and certainly not even "evolved" hybrids would do that!!
Fifth issue... the baboons hunt in packs like lions or hyenas and actually show signs of intelligence and tactical planning during the hunt!!
Sixth issue... the son is drinking some kind of liquid to help his lungs survive the atmosphere of Earth... while simultaneously sprinting across freshly cooled lava and inhaling tons of volcanic smoke and gases just released from the volcano...
It seems like every single animal "evolved" into these weird new shapes except for the wild boars, which stayed exactly the same!!
But yeah, basically... total waste of money...

John Kelly2 said:Honestly, if you just set everything to a time format within the cells—you know, however you want to calculate it, whether that's by total days or just a bunch of minutes and hours—you can basically treat them like regular numbers and just use standard math operations. It’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it!

I mean, you weren't wrong...
man, there are just way too many options to choose from sometimes...👍

Ashley Murphy19 said:So, it’s kind of like this...
- in the first cell, just put down when you actually started working—let's say that's cell A3
- then in cell B3, you'll type in when you finished or stopped for the day
- in cell C3, you're going to type =
- once you've typed the equals sign, just click once on cell B3 and type "-" (no quotes needed!) then A3, or you can just click into cell C3 and type =B3-A3 into the formula bar so it looks like this:


and then just hit enter
after that, just to be safe—I guess—format cell C3 as a time. You know, right-click on cell C3, go to Format Cells - Number tab - and pick Time. Set it to the hh:mm format, so it might show something like 13:30 by default, and just pick that.

Hopefully that helps! I really hope I didn't make it sound way too complicated or anything...

Man, I actually found another way to do it myself, and then I ran into a totally different issue—but honestly, your simple suggestion totally caught me off guard, hahaha, lol, I feel so silly now...🤣

Thanks so much for this, seriously, you're a lifesaver....👍

Actually, I think you've got it wrong!!
I mean, I’ve picked up quite a bit about Excel over the years, but I have to admit, I still find something new every single day—it feels like I'll never truly master it because there are just endless options! It’s honestly such a great tool for anyone dealing with data at work, though, especially when you need to track specific metrics over time... it's useful everywhere, really.

I think there might be a little misunderstanding here—I'm not looking for a way to just click through the Format Cells menu and pick an option from a list...

What I'm actually trying to do is this, and I actually managed to get this part working:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...561081050.aspx

So, let's say I have ten values in a column, and at the end, I need to sum them all up, but it just won't work. That's because the cells in that column are currently using a formula like this:
=TEXT(B2-A2;"h"). So, because of that, it won't let me sum those values in the column—unless, of course, I convert them into plain text in a different column, which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid...

Frank Walker7 said:Alright, here's a question for all you hardcore tech geniuses... NOT!

How do I print out filled-in tables in Excel so that it actually shows both the data inside them AND the gridlines themselves? I think you know what I mean—like how tables look in Word... thanks.
By the way, I'm using Microsoft Office 2003, if that matters at all.

LOL...😁

Come on, give us a real challenge! If you haven't figured this one out yet, let me know so we can sit down and walk you through this massive, life-altering crisis!!!👍

But seriously, can anyone help me with this one???😢

So, basically, I need to calculate working hours. If an employee shows up at 9:00 AM and leaves at 12:15 PM, I need a formula that calculates those 3 hours and 15 minutes... or whatever the math ends up being.

I mean, I'll put the arrival time in one cell—exactly like 09:00—and then the departure time in another cell like 12:30, and I just want a third cell to automatically figure out the total time worked.
