create a formula
I need to create a formula that calculates the length of stay that invloves
date and times cells. For example: C11 = date (admission date) C12 = time (24 hour clock) (admission time) C20 = date (discharge date) C21 = time (24 hour clock) (discharge time) C22 = total length of stay (time) in hours/min ie 72 hours 25 minutes I had this completed initially with the date and time for admission and discharge in one cell each. Which worked great. Now they want it broken into a cell for the dates and a time for the cells. Is what l am asking even doable. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated Lynda S |

create a formula
It's no real difference, just add the date and time before you subtract
since one day is 1 and one hour is 1/24 =(C20+C21)-(C11+C12) the important thing is to use a custom format of [hh]:mm for the result -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom http://nwexcelsolutions.com "Lynda S" wrote in message ...
