If your data are genuine Excel dates and times, rather than text, then you
can use the formula
=INT(B1-A1)&" days "&TEXT(MOD(B1-A1,1),"hh:mm")

In a worksheet column I have a begining date in month, day, year, hour,
minute format, in the next column I have a ending month, day, year , hour,
minute format. I need to calculate the elapsed days, hours, mintues from
the
being to the end. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. I don't need to join the
ranks
of unemployment.
