Does anyone have a formula they can give me to count the minutes between the

Dates and times in XL are just floating point number offsets from a base
date, with the integer part representing days, and the fractional part "partial days". There are 1440 minutes in a day, so C1: =ROUND((B1-A1)*1440, 0) will give you the number of minutes.

But you might want to put the SUBSTITUTE functions separately so you can have separate cells with the values as Excel Date/time values. --ron |

If your cells are formated with a date/time format:
=MINUTE(B2)-MINUTE(A2) If they are formatted as text (and the dates are always the same length): =MID(B2,16,2)-MID(A2,16,2) These formulas assume a start date/time in A2 and an end date/time in B2, adjust as needed.

If they have already been custom formatted as dates, then merely =B1-A1 will do the job, and custom format the result as above. --ron |

As McGimpsey wrote, date is just a floating number from the base date
(1/1/1900). Thus, if you use McGimpsey's formula and format it to number you will get the number of minutes. Alternative, just do B1-A1 and format it in Minutes (mm) which will only work as long as the differnce is smaller then one hour..... rdwj "safetymast" wrote: the problem i have is that the Date comes across in the same cell as the time - how do i deal with that? thanks.
