Setting up spreadsheet to calculate time
Can you tell me the best way to set up a spreadsheet in order to calculate
time, and the formula to do it for Excel 2003? I have a start date and time and an end date and time and need to know the number of hours and minutes between those two times. I have a spreadsheet that someone else made and it just isn't working. I've tried several formulas but can't get them to work and I'm pulling my hair out. I'll go blind if I have to go down this spreadsheet and figure these times out individually!! Thanks :) Meenie |

Setting up spreadsheet to calculate time
Meenie,
I have a spreadsheet that someone else made and it just isn't working Is just about as unhelpful as it gets, what isn't working, what error do you get? Getting the difference between 2 properly formatted dates/times is achieved with subtraction. So a1=01/01/2007 08:00:00 a2= 02/01/2008 08:10:00 Both formatted with dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm In A3 enter =A2-A1 format as [hh]:mm and you will get your answer in hours and minutes.

oops problem Setting up spreadsheet to calculate time
UH OH. It works for everything except midnight.
If I use 12:00:00 am (or 00:00:00 am) it adds an extra 24 hrs to the answer?!? "Meenie" wrote: Sorry Mike, I tried it so many ways and got so many results. :) But your way works!! Thanks so much.
