Default Converting 9/30/04 16:30 to minutes only


Is there a way to subtrace 9/8/04 16:30:00 from 9/15/04 16:46:00 and i
the resulting cell have it display minutes only?

If so, how? Currently, I can subtract the dates but it displays th
days, hours and minutes in that data format so it'd be: 1/7/00 00:16 t
mean 7 days and 0 hours and 16 minutes.


Thanks!! :cool

You can use a custom format. In the cell that you want to read

7 days and 0 hours and 16 minutes

format the date as Custom (instead of date as it is currently) and use the
following:
d "Days," h "Hours and" mm "Minutes"

Hope this helps...

Multiply the result of your calculation by 1440 (the number of minutes in a
day) and then format it as a Number, not a Date/Time.
