Logbook Calculator
Hi All
Just a quick one...does anyone have a program used for the addition of time, to aid in the old logbook fiasco at the end of every month.
I've seen one at Colt before but believe the IT section took it off all computers.
Thanks
TF
PS. I'm not just wondering who has a copy, I would actually appreciate a copy of the program too.

You can do time adding up in Excel, as follows:-
1. Open an Excel spreadsheet.
2. Format the row in time format (hh:mm if just minutes, hh:mm:ss if times include seconds).
3. Type your times into the boxes in the column.
4. Click on the first empty box at the end of the column.
5. Click the 'total' button (the Sigma sign). A formula will appear.
6. Hit tab.
As if by magic the total will appear. (It's how I do my timesheets).
Hope this helps (if you have any questions please PM me).
Edited because I forgot. If you are using XP the total will omit whole days (e.g. if the total time should be 27:40:15 it will show as 3:40:15). Annoying and I haven't figured a way round that yet but should be fairly obvious.

In Excel, to add times without getting screwed up by days etc, use the custom time format [HH:mm], and apply it to all cells used for recording and calculating hours. This will do the necessary for you.

One from the network at Lyneham - looks like the standard windows calculator and includes a 'till roll' thing if you leave your cursor hovering over the calculator's display. Don't know who wrote it, but whoever it was - thanks!

Sad I know, but I am no computer geek okay.
In Excel, Go Format, Cells, Number then select custom. Once in custom select hh:mm, then change it to this [h]:mm, this will total the hours as opposed to converting them to days with the other option.
Who said an Opsy aint good for anything eh

Amazed that you guys get the chance to fly often enough these days to need to use a calculator at all.
Top tip - keep your log book away from the sqn and enter your trip times on the same day. Then you won't have to fight for the auth sheets at the end of the month!! The biggest log book snags come from waiting for some minor cog to cross-check them and then waiting for them to come back after some wheel has signed them.

It's in the downloads section. I know it say's Lynx and Gazelle but it seems to work for all others. If not the chap seems quite keen to help out. Infact Army type blokey more than likely copied it from the better service anyway.
