It occurs to me my OP may not have been as clear as it should be. To clarify, I need to calculate the decimal value of the times involved: (([day_end]-[day_start])-([lunch_end]-[lunch_start])) = H.nn worked
So, for example: ((17:00-08:00)-(13:00-12:00)) = 8.0 I don't believe the DATEDIFF function gives me what I am looking for, but maybe it can with some extra work. I was pretty sure I would find some examples of this type of calculation out there.
