Subtract 7:00 pm from 7:30 pm
 

This is easy. First aquaint yourself with time and date
format. the important concept here is even if you wish to
only display 7:30 AM the cell will also have the date
(8/21/03) information in it. So if you ask for a hh:mm
display the cell will actually have [mm/dd/yy and} hh:mm.
So format cell A1 for hh:mm and plug in 7:00. Then format
A2 and A3 using Format Painter. Plug 7:30 into A2. Now
in A3 Subtract A1 from A2 [=A2-A1]
Want to know how many days sice you were born? enter =TODAY
() into cell B1, the format paint B1 into B2 Enter your
birthdate into B2. Don't format B3 now =B2-B1 Result is
number of days

Hope someone can help... I need to get the difference
between two times ie:
End - Start.
I guess I need a formula that I can use in Excel that
will allow me to enter
the start time, the end time, and then in another cell,
get the difference.

So, If I start a job at 7:00 PM (Which is how I enter the
info in the cell)
and end the job at say 9:45 PM (entered in the second
cell) the third cell
will display 2 Hr 45 min.

I think I am explaining this badly... I guess what I need
is to be able to
perform math (Add/Subtract) on Time. I am not familiar
with how Excel uses
Time Values.

Begin End Total
7:00 PM 7:30 PM 30 min

Hope someone can help
