Change formula for Employee Shift Schedule template

The existing formula only calculates time based on hour time blocks. How can
I change the formula so that it calculates the time on the half hour instead?
Thanks.

Hi,

The formula came out of the "employee shift schedule" template found in the
MS Office templates. Here is the formula: {=SUM(IF(ISTEXT(D9:L9),1,0))}
When ever text is entered into a cell it counts as one hour. However, I need
the ability to have it calculate based on the half hour. It may be easier to
look at the template to see how it is formatted.Thanks for your help. It is
appreciated.

Hi Frank,

That did the trick -- worked fine.

Thanks so much for your help.

Best Wishes,

Hi Frank. I am trying to use this same schedule, only I need to also extend
the number of columns because we have a longer work schedule. When I put in
the new column range, I get a zero result. I also lose the curly parens at
the beginning and end of the formula, and when I type them in manually, it
still returns a zero. Can you help with this also?

This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it
correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type
them yourself.)
