Hi again!

Thanks Doc, but that isn't what I'm looking for.

What you mentioned is the easy part - unfortunately.

And thanks for your advice Tinstaafl! I might a bit retarded in detail but not in general...
I do know how to spell "search" and how to do it, but whatever words and combinations I used, nothing productive came up. I even used operators in my search (well, heck, what a miracle).

No, really, what I want is a bit stupid perhaps, I know. I don't want to sit in the plane and look on the watch every time I see the sun set or rise and then calculate what the night part of the whole flight was.

And yes, I mean that part when it's dark outside, or in the cockpit, whatever.

Quite a few logbook programs do that automatically when entering the departure and destination airfield combined with the times. It's just one of those not really necessary things that some people worry about. I'm one of them it seems.

So, instead of doing guesswork all the time I would simply like to have a calculation in my spreadsheet that tells me this dark time.

Still any helpers available?
