Calculate the difference between two times and show dd:hh:mm:ss
 

Hello!

I use Excel version 2003 SP2 and have a question about calculating the
difference between two times. I have the two times in different cells and
use this formula to calculate: A1-B2=C2. I use the cell format time 37:30:55
in cell C2 and that works. The result is shown as for exampel 78:04:43
(hh:mm:ss). I want to show the result in days, hours, minuts and seconds.
Is there a format or function I can use to solve this problem? It is much
for user-friendly to show days, hours and minutes, in stead of only hours and
minuts. I will appreciate any help.

Select the cell right click go the "Format Cell..."


Select Numbers Tab

results.

If the time is 88:34:56

Type this dd "Days"-hh:mm & the result will be 03 Days-16:34
Type this dd-hh:mm & the result will be 03-16:34
Type this dd - hh:mm & the result will be 03 - 16:34

thanks! It worked perfectly!

Is it possible to only calculate the time within 8 AM and 6 PM each day (in
stead of 24 hours)?

But try it with 888:34:56 or 8888:34:56.

You may want something like =INT(A2)&" days "&TEXT(A2,"hh:mm:ss")
or =INT(D4)&":"&TEXT(D4,"hh:mm:ss")

I didn't explain my last question so well, so I shall try to explain it
better. Our helpdesk is open from 8 AM to 6 PM. I am calculating the time
from an problem is registered to the problem is solved. I have an open-time
and a close-time. A problem can be registered 4 PM and be solved 10 AM the
next day. Excel will calculate the solution-time to 18 hours in this
example, but within our opening-hours it will only be 4 hours. Is it
possible to tell Excel to only count the hours within our opening time who is
8 AM to 6 PM? I know that nearly "everything" is possible in Excel, but my
knowledge about Excel is unfortunately not so good.
