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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
