Cell formats, and time difference
Hi,
some simple questions which I hope someone can help with... I am using excel on a computer with "danish locale". This means that numbers are displayed default like 1234,56. How do I change this to a format using a decimal point (instead of a comma)? How do I find the difference between to times? I have cells which just have times (not dates), and I want to find the difference between two times in hours. For example cells with 08:00 and 09:30 should give a difference of 1.5 Excel help gives an example like =TEXT(B2-A2,"h"), but this gives an error... Thanks, Peter |
Peter,
I believe that you need to change the Regional settings in the control panel. On the Regional Options tab, go to Customize. For time, just subtract and multiply by 24 =(b2-A2)*24, and make sure the cell is formatted as General not time. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Peter Kirk" wrote in message ...
