I get 4:28:21

I think you multiply by 24 and still try to format as time. That will not
work correctly. Don't multiply, unless you want the number of hours to
calculate with and in that case, don't try to format as time, because for
Excel it isn't time. Time is a fraction of a day, and a day is 1.

THnaks Nick but I am having problems with Formatting I get the answer but
I
want to see it in H:mm:Ss of elasped time - The Answer should be eg.
4:28:54;
when I try the custom format I get 11:20:24 which is the time no the
elasped
time.

Hope you have an answer - Its driving me crazy

=B1-A1+(B1<A1)

Format as time (copy the format from A1)
If you need the time to calculate (to multiply with an hourly rate), use
*24
like in your first formula.
