Time in Excel is always hh:mm:ssAM/PM no matter how you format it.

hhmm is still hh:mm:ss

hh:mm is still hh:mm:ss

Just do your subtraction in the normal manner as Sandy points out.

I have 5 cells in a row (A1 - A5). I need to subtract, in military time, A1
from A2 and then A3 from A4 and the total should be in A5 as standard time.
Cells A1-A4 are formatted as hhmm and cell A5 is formatted as hh:mm.
