If you use Excel times (e.g. 7:10 instead of 710) then elapsed time is just
=timeOut-timeIn.

I am a School Nurse creating a template for a clinic log. I am trying to
capture total service time in minutes when there is a range of time from 1 to
120 or more minutes and the times are typed in an "hourminute" format (eg:
710). I guess I'm a little slow on the uptake as I'm having trouble figuring
out the proper formula. This is a template that has time in, grade, name,
complaint, disposition,time out, and service time fields and is to be
e-mailed to faculty daily for attendance purposes. The span of times for the
clinic is 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM. I have Microsoft XP operating system. Because
of privacy concerns, we cannot send the complaint with the log, but need it
for statistical purposes. I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Thanks so much
