In Excel 2000, I want to create a spreadsheet which has a column of foods, a
column of cooking times (in minutes), and a third column which calculates
the time to begin cooking that item based on an inserted mealtime. For
instance, if a mealtime of 2:00 pm is inserted manually then the row for
"Beef Joint - 90 mins" would return 12:30 pm in the third column; and the
row "Carrots - 30 mins" would return 1:30 pm in the third column. I think
the answer is in the formatting but I cannot make it work!

Graham,

If what you are asking is how do you subtract an integer in say B2 like 90
from a time like 14:00 in C1 then try:

=$C$1-(B2/60/24)

and format column C as time

Belated thanks Sandy (Virus problems with Trojan Adclickers prevented an

You're welcome Graham, glad that you got the dinner, trojan & your
spreadsheet all sorted out.
