Sorry, but I'm confused, Mike. There's obviously some subtlety that has
escaped me. Why have you used TEXT to convert a number to text, and then
VALUE to change it back to a number again? What was wrong with simply
=(B1-A1)*24 ?

If you don't want to have to worry about changeing the formatting
manually,
you could also try:

C1=VALUE(TEXT(((B1-A1)*24),"0.00"))

Where B1="11:30" and A1="7:15"

Thanks,
Mike

Hi
I need to do a sheet where I put in a time, 7:15 for example in a cell.
In
another cell I would enter 11:30 for example. The difference in time is
4.25
hours. What formula would I use to get this answer?
Thanks for any help
