Your formula isn't valid syntax. If you've got a formula in your
spreadsheet it's safest to copy it from the formula bar to the newsgroup, rather than retyping it with errors. Did you mean =SUM((A6-A5)*24,(A4-A3)*24) ? If your problem is with going beyond midnight, it's worth using the MOD(...,1) construct. Try =24*(MOD(A6-A5,1)+MOD(A4-A3,1)) -- David Biddulph "Caramon6561" wrote in message ...

You need to format the cell to be in number format, not in a date format. It
is probably giving you a year in 1900. Also your answer will be in days. To convert it to hours multiply by 24. Minutes multiple by 24 * 60 = 1440.

I think you need to change the results to a number format. Time starts Jan
1, 1900. If you are trying to get the difference between two dates 4/15/07 - 4/14/07 this gives you 1 which in time format is Jan 1, 1900. In number format it gives you a 1.
