How can I convert dd hh:mm format into hours? - excel-formula

I'm a complete novice at excel so I'm hoping there is a simple solution I just don't understand, but I'm pulling data from a generated report that contains the average turn around time of a lab test in the format d hh:mm (eg. 1 14:20). Am I correct in custom formatting these cells as d hh:mm, and if so is there a way to convert this into hours so I can average the TAT for all tests in that group?

With data in A1 use:
=A1 * 24
This is a pretty standard way to convert time to hours.

Is there a way to calculate the average of all these times (Excel 2019)?

I'm trying to find the average time of all these times (see link), but there doesn't seem to be a format that won't convert these into 12 hour time. I currently have them stored as text, so the average currently cannot be calculated. I've tried multiple h:mm:ss formats and related formats, but they all don't give an average after =AVERAGE (C2:C20). Is there a way to do this? Thanks
With the values stored as text, you can get the average with
=AVERAGE(VALUE(C2:C21))
(this will have to be entered as an array formula if you're using Excel 2019 or earlier)
(the entries in column D are all numbers, with the custom-number format h:mm:ss.0 applied to them)

Extract the hour from the h" hour(s) and "m" minute(s)" in excel

I have the list of data that showing the Hours and the Minutes that I extract from the system. I need to be extract the hours.
As example below, column B first row, the Hours would be 64 and the minutes would be 46.
But when I used the formula =Hour , its turn up the different value since its actually decimal number.
Cannot use left() , it will give the actual decimal number.
Updated:
We tried the #harun24HR 's but cannot readable the value.
But if you noticed, if i copy and paste the value is different. thats why the search not applicable.
4th Update:
To Solar Mike, I have tried the formula given from the thread the i think the value not readable
It's a time value which Excel stores as calculated value based on 24 hours = 1.
To retrieve the hours only you can use:
=INT(A2*24)
To retrieve the minutes only you can use:
=(A1-(INT(A1*24)/24))*24*60
Your time value is already a number in time format so you just need it to change it to decimal system. Dates and time values are numbers. Even if you see it as 30/09/2019 or 12:00:00, actually, for Excel, both cases are numbers.
First date Excel can recognize properly is 01/01/1900 which integer numeric value is 1. Number 2 would be 02/01/1900 and so on. Actually, today is 44659.
Now, about your data, you posted this screenshoot:
So the value is numeric, not text/string. In Excel, what you see is not always what you have. Probably that column has been formatted using custom mask. My fake data is like this:
The numeric value is 02/01/1900 16:46:36 (or 02/01/1900 4:46:36 PM it depends on your regional settings) but I've applied a custom format like this:
[hh]" hours" mm " minutes"
So what I have is a number but what I see is a text!
We have to work with the number (to be honest, ist's easier to work with numbers), so to extract the total hours, minutes and seconds.
Formula in B1: =INT(A1*24) total hours
Formula in C1: =INT(A1*24*60-B1*60) total minutes
Formula in D1: =A1*24*60*60-B1*60*60-C1*60 total seconds
This should guide you on whatever are you trying to achieve.
From your current sample data you try-
For hour =LEFT(A2,SEARCH(" ",A2)-1)
For minutes =RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2," minutes",""),2)

Multiplying different number formats in Excel

I'm using an excel document to track my hours at work (this is my 3rd question about it)
I'm trying to figure out how to multiply a time (i.e. 62:05, which is how long I have worked for over 2 weeks), by my hourly rate (11$/hr) and get approximate gross earnings in this format: $667.43
my time format is [hh]:mm and the 11/hr format doesn't do anything other than the total being 29.0000382 something.
Consider this formula:
=A1*24*B1

Calculating date difference in days - excel

I have already checked this question but didn't have a clue on how it can help me out here. I am trying to calculate the difference between two dates which are in format - MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS
e.g.
Data Creation(COLA1) Data Closure(COL B1) Number(COL C1) of Days
16/05/2016 19:58:02 23/05/2016 19:38:41 X
I want a formula for number of days(X) here.
Excel Version - 2010
Check the answer given here.
You need only to change from seconds to days
I would use a personalized number format (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) and then just round up the difference between dates.
For example here DIFFERENCE = ROUNDUP((DATE1-DATE2);0)

Excel - Date Time Format ; If time is PM add a day

In excel I currently have data in date time format
For example: "11/10/2007 8:40:58 PM"
I am trying to extract the date and if the time is PM, I add a day.
if the time is AM, the date remains the same.
So since the time is 8:40:58 PM I would want 12/10/2007.
Is there a way in excel to do such a thing using formulas?
Please consider using the following formula. This uses the fact that in Excel in its date-time code uses 1 to represent a full day and fractions to represent the time. If timestamp is in A1 then:
=INT(A1)+IF((A1-INT(A1))>=0.5,1,0)
Regards.
This one works for me.
=IF(A1>0.5, A1+1, A1)
In order to have it only return the date right click on column B, select "Format" the take your pick.
