Calculating Duration Between Two Dates and Times in Excel
Sure, calculating the duration between two dates and times in Excel is easy. You can use the built-in function called
"DATEDIF" to calculate the difference between two dates in various units, including hours.
Here's how you can do it:
- Enter the start date and time in one cell, and the end date and time in another cell. Make sure to format the cells as "Date" and "Time" respectively.
- Subtract the start date and time from the end date and time to get the total duration in days and fractions of a day. For example, if the start date and time are in cell A1 and the end date and time are in cell B1, you can use the formula "=B1-A1" to get the duration in days.
- Multiply the result by 24 to convert the duration from days to hours. For example, if the duration in days is in cell C1, you can use the formula "=C1*24" to get the duration in hours.
That's it! You should now have the duration in hours between the two dates and times.
