Subtract 12 hours from date/time
Actually my formula was the same as yours, but I had the time in A1 and B1
formatted incorrectly. I was putting in 2030 (true military time) instead of
20:30 which is what Excel wants.
Thanks for your help though!

hi
would have been nice if you had posted your formula so someone might see
what your are doing wrong.
excel keeps time as a decimal value of a day.
12 hrs = .5 day
assuming that your date/time that you are subtracting is A....
=IF(B1A1,A1-0.5,0)
post back with more details. maybe we can refine it more.

I am trying to subtract 12 hours from a date/time cell if the date in B1 is
greater than A1.
A1 3/3/2010 2030 (formatted: m/d/yyyy hh:mm)
B1 3/4/2010 1030 (formatted: m/d/yyyy hh:mm)
No matter how I format A1, B1 and C1 I still get a #Value error. I am
obviously missing something or leaving something out. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
