It works only if i mention the below..,
=(B1-A1-(D1-C1)) Equals to 24:00:00 (with the format {hh:mm:ss})
A B
C D
1 01-03-2007 06:00:00 02-03-2007 07:30:00 01/03/2007 02:00:00
01/03/2007 03:30:00

As suggested by you i tried the above, But i would like to imply the time
alone in C1 & D1 as 02:00:00 & 03:30:00 instead of 01/03/2007 02:00:00 in
C1
& 01/03/2007 03:30:00.

Can you pls revert on the above as whether we could mention the Idle time
alone instead of dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss?.

Hope you are clear on my above message.

In that case why not put your two extra times in C1 and D1, and change
your
formula to =B1-A1-(D1-C1) ?

Hi Joel,
Thanks for your reply :-),
Well, the problem is not yet solved, i dont like to formulate / insert
01:30
inbetween the formula and subtract it, instead can we assign or mention
that
02/03/2007 02:00:00 to 02/03/2007 03:30 has to be subtracted all the
time
for
what ever value instered in cell B1 & A1?.
Any possibilities?.

This is easy. Just subtract 1:30 from the final results. You may
need
to
format the cell in a different format to get the results your are
looking
for.

=B1-A1-1:30

The format Menu Number - Time has lots of formats.
You can enter time with hours a minutes into excel. Sunch as
1/3/07 22:30 and excel will automatically convert this time to excel
time
format.

Hi,
Can you please advice me how to calculate the below.., A
B
1 01/03/2007 06:00:00 02/03/2007 07:30:00

The time (hours, mins & sec) taken between B1 to A1 is 25hours & 30
mins.
Now here imagine that i need to exclude the time taken from
02/03/2007
02:00:00 to 02/03/2007 03:30 and arrive the final hourly value as
24hrs
and
00 mins!.

In Simple.,
The value of (B1-A1), to be again subtracted by the time between
02/03/2007
02:00:00 to 02/03/2007 03:30 (idle time) and make the final value to
be
24hrs.

Can you please adivce me how to arrive to this formula.
