Default Time calcualtion in minutes

Excel 2007

Working with an .xls template used as a timesheet. Three columns time
started, time finished and time taken.

Can Time Taken be shown as minutes? We can subtract end from start time and
get to see it as hh:mm but can't get just mm as the correct total number of
minutes. eg if 9:30 to 11:00 is 1 1/5 hours, can we see a total as 90 minutes
somehow?

If your 9:30 and 11:00 are in A1 and B1 respectively, =B1-A1 will show 1:30
(1 1/2 hours, not 1 1/5), and =(B1-A1)*24*60 (if you format as general or
number) will show 90. If you just format the =B1-A1 as [m] it would show as
90, but the number in the cell would still be 90/(24*60) as Excel stores
times as fractions of a day.
