Converting hours to minutes
ADMIT TIME DISCH TIME
12:19 AM 7:10 AM 12:39 AM 4:00 AM 2:25 PM 7:30 PM 7:06 PM 12:35 AM 8:49 PM 11:42 PM I need to find the sum of the Admit time and the Disch time(time patients waited to be seen), then convert the answer into minutes? Will someone please help me? I am just learning Excel and this task has really been daunting. |
Converting hours to minutes
If you really want the sum, it would be =SUM(A2,B2)*24*60 or =(A2+B2)*24*60.
If, as I suspect, you want the difference rather than the sum, then =(B2-A2)*24*60. In each case, format the result as Number or General, not as Time. -- David Biddulph "sjames" wrote in message ...

David,
This formula will not work if a patient arrives before midnight and is seen or discharge after midnight. I don't know how to write the correct formula, perhaps you could modify it please.

Thanks RagDyer
I have finally figured the full formula: =IF(A1B1,MOD(B1-A1,1)*1440,(B1-A1)*1440) This should give the time in minutes between A1 and B1 whether the patient is there thru midnight or not.

The Mod() formula works for *all* cases ... try it ... you'll like it!<bg
