Calculate the difference in date/time formatted cells
 

I need to know how to find the difference in time in two cells with a
date/time format of 05/01 04:30

Calculate the difference in date/time formatted cells
 

Hi,

With this in A1 and b1

15/05/2010 10:00 16/05/2010 11:30

formula

=B1-A1

Format the formula cell as dd hh:mm

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Just subtract the two cells and format the formula cell as custom [h]: mm

=A2-A1

OK until you get beyond 31 days, I think you'll find.

Yes, absolutely correct David. I had this mindset of 1 day and a few hours.
Thanks for the correction.

.

If A1 has:1/1/2010 5:05:00 AM
B1 has 10/10/2010 12:02:00 PM

this formulae
="days- "&TRUNC(B1-A1,0)&" hours-"&(((B1-A1)-TRUNC(B1-A1,0))*24)

gives u the result as:

days- 282 hours- 6.94999999995343


all the best
