Hours remaining in the day

[E007]

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:

A solution so simple and elegant yet I didn’t even see it. Thanks, Jonathan!
