My time data comes in like so:

93555
93600

Difference of 5 seconds

103058
103101

Difference of 3 seconds

Is there a way to convert these trimes so that when they are subtracted, I
can get the correct difference ?

Thank you in advance.

One way to convert those values into times is to use a helper cell:
=TIMEVALUE(TEXT(A1,"00\:00\:00"))
(format as time)

But you could do all the work in the subtraction formula, too:

=TIMEVALUE(TEXT(A2,"00\:00\:00"))-TIMEVALUE(TEXT(A1,"00\:00\:00"))
(format as time, too)

A2 held the later time.

Hi Carl

If your data always has the latest time in the second cell, then with early
time in A1 and late time in A2
=RIGHT(A2,2)-RIGHT(A1,2)+60
works for me
