Default Calculating time in minutes

Ah, thanks for the clarification. You're right, I didn't use the brackets.

Actually, it will give you the total minutes. I am sure you overlooked that
I used [mm]
note the brackets. You probably used mm which will only go up to 59 minutes
However if you include the brackets it will show larger values

Thanks for the answers guys. Mike, your formula worked great. Peo, I had
tried that already. It just gave me the minutes, and didn't calculate the
hours into minutes.

I have a spreadsheet that I enter the start and end times of a project.
I
would like to be able to calculate the time spent in minutes. IE. I
enter
the
time I started in cell C1 and the end time in cell C2. If I enter the
formula
"=C2-C1" it will calculate the time, but it does it in hours and
minutes.
What formula can I use to calculate the time in minutes only?
