Default Seconds

I have a spreadsheet with two columns, Begin Time and End Time. The time
format is set to hh:mm:ss AM. I want to find the difference between the two
times, but in seconds. What formula would I write to subtract the times and
have the output response be total seconds?

.... or if you want a number in seconds, use =(B1-A1)*24*3600 and format as
Number or General, not as Time.
