Calculate Time in Excel

The simple way to calculate the time is sum the two time inputs, shown in below example:

Use Excel built-in function SUM to calculate. Use same as you calculate any number:
Below mention three cells A1, A2 and A3 formatted as time (hh:mm)

A1 = 04:15
A2 = 10:15
A3 has the formula: =SUM(A1:A2)

then A3 will have the correct values of 14:30.

This is only useful until total is below 24 hours, but if your total times are greater than 24 hours then things get different, it will round the calculation and start from beginning and you won't get correct answer.

e.g.: If you have :
A1 = 15:30 and A2 = 10:15 then A3 will have 01:45 instead of 25:45. I.e. any hours beyond 24 hours are dropped.

To retain the hours beyond 24, you have two alternatives:

1. If you want to convert the hours beyond 24 into days then use this cell format : dd:hh:mm. The total in the previous example will be 01:01:45 (1 day , 1 hour and 45 minutes)

2. If you want to keep the hours beyond 24 as is then use this cell format :[h]:mm. The total in the previous example will be 25:45.

In both cases the formula will remain as it is. Only the cell format differs.

lotus formula to Extract One Value from Text List.

Extract 1 Value from Text List:
Normally when trying to extract a particular value from a text list, you would use Script and extract the value with the array(index), but there is a simple way to do this with formula language For this to work, you must know which value you wish to retrieve, ie.. what number the value is in the list. Use @Subset to get your desired results. This example uses a nested @Subset with another @Subset.

For example:
If the field you are wanting to extract the value from is, Rakesh, Sunny, Bhavin, Rajesh, Jathin, Kuti and you want to extract the value "Rajesh" from the list, use the following in another field:
Eg:
Here fieldname is Friends
@Subset(@Subset(Friends;4);-1)

This first gets the value of the first 4 entries in the list, then extracts the last value from that list giving you the desired result "Rajesh", since Rajesh is the 4th value in the 1st list, and the last in the second.

Find the position of text Value in Text List:

Here, you can use @Member(value ; list) lotus notes formula function. That determines the position of a value in a string list.

Eg:
position := @Member("Rajesh";Friends)

This formula will return no 4 to the "position" variable.
