number to time
Help
I have 2 columns both with 4 digits as a time 1341 1415 . thease fields are brought in from another system and can not be changed to a time format what i am trying to do is work out the difference if it takes away 1341 from 1415 as a time rather than a number, so i get 34 as the result instead of 74 as i get at present. Thank you in advance for help Stan |

If you have always got four digits, then you can convert each into a
time with the following: =VALUE(LEFT(A1,2)&":"&RIGHT(A1,2)&":00"), and =VALUE(LEFT(B1,2)&":"&RIGHT(B1,2)&":00") Format them as Time. So, if you just want the difference in minutes then: =VALUE(LEFT(B1,2)&":"&RIGHT(B1,2)&":00")- VALUE(LEFT(A1,2)&":"&RIGHT(A1,2)&":00") and format as [mm]:ss (assumes B1 is a later time than A1). Hope this helps.

=1440*(TIME(LEFT(B1,2),RIGHT(B1,2),0)-TIME(LEFT(A1,2),RIGHT(A1,2),0))

Appoliges for this ,,,, that worked great but..... i did not realise that if
the time was before 1000 it droped to a 3 digit number ie 0936 shows as 936 , any ideas how to add this to the below ?

Okay, you can change it to the following to cope with 3 or 4 digit
times in either or both A1 and B1: =IF(LEN(B1)=3,VALUE(LEFT(B1,1)&":"&RIGHT(B1,2)&": 00"),VALUE(LEFT(B1,2)&":"&RIGHT(B1,2)&":00"))- IF(LEN(A1)=3,VALUE(LEFT(A1,1)&":"&RIGHT(B1,2)&": 00"),VALUE(LEFT(A1,2)&":"&RIGHT(A1,2)&":00")) I've assumed that only leading zeroes in the hour will be suppressed, so that 903 represents 9:03, but 1003 would be used for 10:03. Hope this helps.
