1. I don't see the point using a decimal value that does not really reflect
the time?
The real decimal value if needed for calculations is

=(B1-A1)*24

formatted as general


2. The difference between 7:00 and 9:26 is not 1:26 it is 2:26



3. You can use a custom format of hh.mm if it is just for display



4. If you really want to get 1.26 you can use a simpler formula like

=HOUR(B1-A1)+MINUTE(B1-A1)/100

or if there can be more than 24 hours

=INT((B1-A1)*24)+MINUTE(B1-A1)/100


all formula results formatted as general

Hi,

I have Created a formula for the users who want to calculate time into
number format.

Example
Anirban want to calculate time spent in Xerox Audit between 7:00 AM to
9:26 AM. Now using simple subtraction formula he will get 1:26 but if
he want to see the result in number formate which shows 1.26, he can
the following formula

=(TRUNC((((B1-A1)*(24*60))/60),0))+((((((B1-A1)*(24*60))/60)-
(TRUNC((((B1-A1)*(24*60))/60),0)))*60)/100)
