Yor formula works absolutely perfect. Thank you.
As you expressed an interest in discussing this further I will not miss that chance.
First of all - I too am not in aviation, I am in Finance at my place of work and I often try to help colleagues in other departments
with Excel related questions, and that's also what I am trying to do here. So "Window of Circadian Low" and other aviation concepts
are completely new to me.
Yes you are certainly right that there may be better software, but I am not in a position to decide on buying such software.
As far as I have understood it our flight department (3 aircrafts and 7 pilots) has no strict rules about flying/rest hours, but has
voluntarily chosen to adhere to the rules described among other places here:
http://humanfactors.arc.nasa.gov/zteam/PDF_pubs/FSF_corp_dutyrest.pdf
If, after having seen this document, you decide that you are no longer interested, then I will understand
What I have promised our flight department is to see if I can set up something in Excel which can help them manage flying and rest
hours in accordance with the guidelines described in Table 1 and Table 2 (page 5 and 6) of the above document. Table 1 is for
operations outside "Window of Circadian Low" and Table 2 is for operations during the "Window of Circadian Low".
Another link which might be of interest.

I would appreciate any help whatsoever.
