formula to calulate length of time
 

I need to create a formula that displays the length of stay between to dates
in a cell. For example the length of time between date 1 = 2006/01/06 12:30
pm and date 2 = 2006/01/13 10:30 am. What is the time frame here in hours.

formula to calulate length of time
 

=A2-A1
FormatCells, Number tab, Custom. In the Type box, enter [h]
in your case the result is 166 hours

Kind regards,
