Hi

I'm working in a freight forwarding company. I basically need to know the formula to get the difference in hours and mintues base on the PDF file attached. Please note that the date and time are together in one cell for example A1 (d/mm/yyyy hh:mm). Hope someone can help me with this issue.

Kindly see attached.

A1
31/07/2005 20:15

B1
1/08/2005 08:50

C1
B-A = hh:mm

Thanks in advance!

Cheers
Eugene

There's no attached file.

Assuming the date/time in A1 is earlier than date/time in A2

=INT((A2-A1)*24)&":"&INT((((A2-A1)*24)-INT((A2-A1)*24))*60)

This will return the total hours & minutes between the 2 values(appearing as
eg 73:03), but you will not be able to perform any calculations on it.

Can this be extended to [days:]hours:minutes with the days only being
displayed if it's 0?

The formula could be modified, but it would begin to get very cluttered.
Also you would get a 0: display for no days.

An easier way would be to simply subtract the dates and format the cell as
"d hh:mm". This would work up to 1 month difference only
