Default Date Subtraction/Time between Occurences

if A1 = 1st date (prior to most recent)
A2 = 2nd date (most recent)

in A3 = (A2-A1)*24

providing that A1 and A2 are formated in any date formate.

(doesn't matter if dates cross months or years. just need to be different)

This works because Excel sees dates as a number
Each increment of 1 = a day or 24 hours.
decimals = hours and minutes (.5 24 * .5 = 12 hours)

I would like to make something that gives me the number of hours between
two days at different times. For example if the two dates were 5/6
6:00AM and 5/8 8:00AM, the number of hours between the two would be 50.
I would also like this to be able to work at for days near the end of
the month like the time between 8/30 at 9:00AM and 9/2 at 4:00PM. Any
ideas of how I could do this?
