~Time Calculation
 

I have a formula that calculates time.
The following cells contain the following data.
Cell B381 contains 8:00 AM
Cell C381 contains 4:45 PM
Cell E381 contains =TEXT(C381-B381-TIME(,30,),"[h] \h\r\s: m \m\i\n\s")
which calculates to 8 hrs: 15 mins.

In cell G381, I want to display the time from cell E381 as 8.25
What formula do I use in G381?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for your time in advance, Karen

One way:

=E281*24

XL stores times as fractional days, so multiplying by 24 gives integral
hours.

Put this formula in G381:

=(C381-B381-TIME(,30,))*24

and format the cell as General or Number with 2 dp.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help. I entered the formula =E381*24 and I received the
#VALUE! error
Any ideas?

Well that was dumb.

Most efficient is to change E381 to

=C381-B381-TIME(,30,)

and format the cell with the string in your text function
(Format/Cells/Number/Custom).

Or equivalently:

=MOD(C381-B381-1/48,1)
