Default Date/time difference

Falls over when the number of days goes beyond 31.
[And, of course, you don't need the *24.]

Hello,
I have a worksheet with 2 columns with date and time. I want to calculate
the difference between date 1 and date 2. The way it is now, I have a
formula
that says:
=(B1-A1)*24 and this gives me a result in hours and decimal (for example
7.98).
However, I would like the result to show as #of days/#of hours/#minutes.
Most results will be 0 day but for results with more than one day (24
hours)
I would rather not have for example 120.5 hours but instead "5 days, 3
hours
and 4 minutes" (or whatever it is)...
Any way I can do that?
Thank you,
Caroline
