formula problem
Libby,
You can just subtract one datetime value from another. In the result cell, use a custom number format of [hh]:mm:ss . -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Libby" wrote in message ... Hiya folks I had a spreadsheet with two columns. One column contained dates, the other contained times. I put the dates and times in one column, but if this can be done without doing that, then feel free to post that too :o) What I need to do is to take one date/time away from another to find out how many hours/mins/sec has elapsed between the two EG 12/Dec/2003 13:12 - 11/Dec/2003 09:50 Does anyone have any ideas? Thanking you Libby |
formula problem
Hi Chip
I still can't get it to work I've got 12/12/2003 09:00 in once cell and 11/12/2003 09:00 in the other When I take the second away from the first I get 00:00:00 when it should tell me that 24 hrs has elapsed. :o( -----Original Message----- Libby, You can just subtract one datetime value from another.
