2 05/23/2014 11:00:00 AM 05/23/2014 01:00:00 PM
0.5 05/23/2014 02:00:00 PM 05/23/2014 02:30:00 PM


Actually I want to enter time into 2nd and 3rd cell based on value on
1st column. The value is like : 1 = 1 hr, 2 = 2 hr and 0.5 = 30 mins.
But in the first cell these values are entered as number, not in time
format.

Please suggest me anyone , any easier way to do this because manual
entry is time consuming in excel.

Select the first cell of the "value" column. (I'm assuming it's A2, and
A1="value".) Enter this formula:

=(C2-B2)*24

(If the start and end columns aren't B and C respectively, or the first row
of data isn't row 2, edit to fit.)

Right-click that cell and selecting "Format cells..." Choose the "General"
format and click OK. Now copy that cell down as far as you need it.
