How do I use formulas and calculations in Excel that show minutes
 

Can anyone help me with what I am sure is a very simple solution! I need to
produce a timesheet that shows time in hours and minutes but can be added to
or subtracted - with the results still showing minutes. Therefore, I don't
want to put in decimals .... how do I do this please?

Thank you!

How do I use formulas and calculations in Excel that show minutes
 

Enter your times using colons instead of decimals.

e.g. in cell A1 type 07:30 and in cell A2 type 05:30
if you then enter the formula in A3 of =A1-A2 you should get your
answer in hours and minutes.

It gets a bit more complicated if your time sheet crosses midnight and
you finish time is less than your start time because Excel can't handle
negative times.
