You don’t have an ‘else’ part to that IF()
statement. The ‘else’ is optional — except in your case, you need two branches:
IF(
{Total Time Worked}>=7.75,
ROUNDUP(7.75,0),
{Total Time Worked}
)
I bet you have the formula field formatted as an integer. :winking_face:
(I didn’t catch it at first, either – I had to enter it into Airtable to figure out how it failed.)
Thank you for your reply! What should I have it set as? I have it set as a decimal for the formatting. Still even with the equation you’ve provided me it is rounding anything above 7:30 to 8.

Double-check how the formula field is formatted. If it’s set to an integer, 7.5
will show as 8
. If it’s set as a decimal with a precision of at least 1.0
it will show as 7.5
. (A decimal with a precision of 1
is an integer.)
I do have my formatting set as Decimal with the precision of 1.0 and still getting everything set to 8. I have one person who worked 7:41 and one person who worked 7:49 and with the equation plugged in it is giving both of these individuals 8 hours.

What type of field is {Total Time Worked}
?
{Total Time Worked} is a formula field with the equation: DATETIME_DIFF({Shift End},{Start Shift})
{Total Time Worked} is a formula field with the equation: DATETIME_DIFF({Shift End},{Start Shift})
Ah… That is giving you the time in seconds. Try
DATETIME_DIFF({Shift End},{Start Shift})/3600
From the help center description of DATETIME_DIFF()
:
Returns the difference between datetimes in specified units. Default units are seconds. (See list of unit specifiers here.)
Okay so I have it set up like this. I have total time worked with lunch as: DATETIME_DIFF({Shift End},{Start Shift}) then I have total time worked as: ({Total Time worked with lunch}-{Lunch Time}). THEN I have this last cell labeled Realized time as: IF({Total Time Worked}>=7.75,ROUNDUP(7.75,0),{Total Time Worked}).
Sorry I misspoke my last reply
when I added the /3600 to the end of the equation it made my calculated time of 7:41 to 00:00.

In that case, I’m guessing {Total Time Worked}
is formatted as a duration, not a number. It’s the same issue: durations also default to seconds. In either case, you’re comparing ~27,900 to 7.75: It’s always going to round up.
If you want to keep {Total Time Worked}
as a duration — which makes sense, as it will display in h:mm
format — but your calculated (rounded up) hours to be decimal, your formula needs to be
IF(
{Total Time Worked}>=7.75*3600,
ROUNDUP(7.75,0),
{Total Time Worked}/3600
)
(Or you could always just replace ROUNDUP(7.75,0)
with 8
.)
Alternatively, if you want both {Total Time Worked}
and the calculated field to be durations, you need
IF(
{Total Time Worked}>=7.75*3600,
ROUNDUP(7.75,0)*3600,
{Total Time Worked}
)
OMG it worked! Thank you so much. If you were here I could almost kiss you! I have been stuck trying to do this for almost 24 hours and you’ve helped me so much. A thousand time over thank you W_Vann_Hall!
