Please help with time calculation
I posted this question befo
I need to calculate in a cell the time duration when the user inters start and end times in the following fashion: Start End Duration 00:00 00:45 0.75 00:45 01:30 0.75 Start and End times must be in 24hr format. My problem is in the duration. I am required to calculate the duration like the example above i.e. instead of showing it as 0:45 min (00:00 (12:00 AM) €“ 00:45 (12:45 AM) = 0:45 minutes, my client requires it to show as three quarters of an hour in decimal format (0.75). how can I do that? I need the user to enter 00:00 and 00:45 then the form will calculate the 0.75. and got the following solution: (B2-B1)*24 The Problem: this works fine with most but not in the following case: Start End 21:30 1:00 The answer I am getting is -20.5? it should be 3.5 any Idea. Thanks Al |

Sorry, hadn't read the compete mail. Use:
=(B1-A1)*24+IF((B1-A1)*24<0,24,0) B1 is end time A1 start time Mangesh "Al" wrote in message ...

I used it and got the same answer "-20.5". did you try it?
I am subtracting 21:30 (start time) from 1:00 (End Time), it should be 3.5. This is the answer I am looking for. I have my cell formated as general. thanks "Mangesh Yadav" wrote: Sorry, hadn't read the compete mail.

Another option would be to include both the date and time in the cell. This
would make it a little more robust--if you crossed two midnights.

=(B1-A1)*24+IF((B1-A1)*24<0,24,0) =(B1-A1+(A1B1))*24 hth RES |
