David,

I shall completely understand if you do not want to be bothered to
explain and ignore this further message of mine but I did look at Excel
help where I find

"MOD(number,divisor)

Returns the remainder after number is divided by divisor. The result has
the same sign as divisor."

Hence my puzzlement and my inquiry.

Why not look in Excel help to see what the MOD function does?

Many thanks. This is very neat and works so far as I have tested it so
long as I make it

=MOD(B1-A1,1)*24

But can you please explain to me why it works? Why does it not always
give a result of zero since the modulus of anything divided by 1 must be
zero, musn't it and anything multiplied by zero is zero?

Enter the times as TIMES

A1 = 21:30
B1 = 3:45

What is the neatest formula to calculate the number
of hours between them?

=MOD(B1-A1,1)
