texte = Here is a simple version. I have a function somewhere that will let you specify decimal places, rounding, etc. But this should be what you are looking for: [math][HoursTotal]+(((floor((([MinutesTotal]+7)/60)*4))*15)/60)[/math] Depending on how you round, change the number '7' in the above formula. If you always round down, just change it to zero. If you always round up, change it to 14. Matthew Bohne wrote: > How do the minutes round? For instance, is 4:07 rounded to 4:00 or > 4:15?
