How would I subtract a duration from the total number of hours in the day? For example, if I have a task that takes 6 hours, I’d like to set up a field that shows how many hours are left in the work day.


I’ve tried a few things but keep getting errors.


Thanks!

can you post your formula that gives you the error?

Hi @E007 - if your hours in the day and hours worked are both “duration” fields, you can just take them away to get the remaining time:



The formula for “Remaining Time” in my example is:


{Hours in Day} - {Time Worked (Duration)}


You also have to set the format of the formula field to duration too:
