time. Edit the time to suit
--Press Enter and you will have the date and time in excel date time

Firstly, what number do you want to SUM to B1-A1?
If you just want =B1-A1, and don't want to SUM anything to it, you don't
need the SUM function. If you don't understand what the SUM function does,
look it up in Excel help.

Secondly, for your problem you might want =MOD(B1-A1,1)
