Although Google Sheets isn't designed to function as a time spreadsheet or time tracker, it can effectively perform both tasks. There are numerous ways to calculate time on Google Sheets, but the method discussed below involves calculating based on time units.
For example, imagine you're managing a time spreadsheet on Google Sheets. You have a column for start time and end time. You can set up Sheets to automatically calculate the time and display the result in another column. All you need to do is set it up correctly, and Google Sheets will automatically calculate the time for you.
HOW TO CALCULATE TIME ON GOOGLE SHEETS
To measure time units accurately, ensure that you set the column format to Time .
Step 1: Open your Google Sheets time spreadsheet.
Step 2: Select the time cells and highlight all the cells including Start Time, End Time, Work Time. Then, click on the Format menu on the toolbar and choose Time to set the format for these columns.
Step 3: In the Work Time column, cell G6, enter the formula in the fx bar: '=F6-E6'. The result will display the time span between the start and end times in this column.
Similarly, we can add the Dates format to the columns above. This helps if the time exceeds one day.
