I have a cell A3 as 10.55 and B3 as 20.35. Now i have to calculate the different value as time. It means i should get the value like 9 hours and 40 mins. it should print like 9.40 in the C3.
I have tried this but it is not give the exact value.
=TIME(FLOOR((B3-A3), 1), ((B3-A3) - FLOOR((B3-A3), 1)) * 100, 0)
Is there any other way to solve it ? Thank you in advance.
If you use the native Excel time format 10:55 and 20:35 instead, you can simply do a substraction to get your desired result.
A3:
=TIME(10;55;00)
B3:
=TIME(20;35;00)
C3:
=TEXT(B3-A3;"g.mm")
Should work. ;)
First, you need to set the number format in all 3 cells as h.mm (Right click on cells, Format Cells..., Number tab, Custom category).
Then, when you enter the time it should be in the standard format 10:55, otherwise it will be consider as number, indeed. Why this happens: MS Excel consider all dates as numbers. The integer part are the number of days since 1900, the fractional part are the hours. The difference between number and date is only the number format as number or as date/time.
If you do like this, if simply use the formula =B3-A3, you will get the time difference.
Can any one help me in converting a minuts cell to mm:hh:sec
Below is the data that that you can see.
Here I need the highlighed cell data in hh:mm:ss
Awaiting for your response.
Thanks in advance
Assuming that the 7 in cell E1 means 7 minutes, then you can use a helper calculation with this formula:
=E1/(60*24)
Copy down and format the result with custom format hh:mm:ss.
Some of the minute values are greater than one day, so you need to decide what to do about these. You could use custom format d \d\a\y\s hh:mm:ss to show the number of days in front of the time value.
I'm trying to calculate the time between the dates , at the beginning the formula
was working fine but I've noticed that it does not work when the date is different
For example , I have the following information on cell A1: 09/15/2016 10:00 AM
On Cell B2 I have: 09/16/2016 10:00 AM
The formula is just B2-A1 but instead of giving me a result of 24 hours is just giving me 0 . I believe the formula is not recognizing that these are 2 different days and is just doing 10-10
Any idea how to fix this ?
I was able to get the result 24 by setting a custom format of [h] (you will have to type it into the 'Type:' box) on cell C1 while using the formula =B1-A1
Excel Reference
'Format Cells' view
The problem with just using =B1-A1 is that if either or both of those cells is not populated then you will get weird numbers in C1. You may want to make C1 display as a blank cell unless both boxes are populated, try something like this =IF(OR(ISBLANK(A1),ISBLANK(B1)),"",B1-A1)
The reason for the weird numbers is that Excel calculates time based on a predefined decimal system that indexes time starting at like 1/1/1900 or something like that. So when manipulating or calculating time, that is something that you always have to keep in the back of your mind.
Hope this helps.
Formation the destination cell to will do but since you have date and time combined it will show as 1 calendar day difference 0 only means that 12 am after the 1 day difference, I know it does not make any sense but its Excel...
If I was you, on column A, I would add the date, and on Column B, the time.
then just work with the time, as both combined can be tricky
Don't forget to format your cells!! (right click>Format Cells>Time>3/14/12 1:30 PM)
I am trying to deduct time in excel.
There are 2 cells and I'm trying to do = with cell1 coordinates - cell2 coordinates.
This is working fine in most of the sheet with the cells formatted as custom hh:mm
In these particular cells I'm getting ########### rather than the answer
Upon looking further in to why this is happening one of the cells in the calculation is simply showing the time whilst one is showing 07/01/1900 00:57:30 in the top bar. The cell is also formatted to HH:MM so why does it show a date in the bar at the top rather than just the time??
I believe I'm getting the ##### error because on the cell it looks like the above and the other just shows the time as
04:42
How do I stop the first cell from looking like a date plus time in the formula bar?
If the cell with 07/01/1900 00:53:30 is supposed to be a time then you should consider it as indicating 7 days offset in time (assuming that format is dd/mm/yyyy). I get the same results if the cell number is 7.039930556, and I format it for HH:MM.
However that number was generated, it has an offset of 7 days (suspiciously one week!). I suggest looking at how it was generated, it might be due to a wrap around issue.
If you really just want the time value and don't care why there is an integer offset, you can use the function MOD MOD( A1, 1) will return only the fractional amount of the number, which represents the fractional amount in a day, which is the time.
Excel time and date is representing in days since Jan 1st, 1900. 0.5 is 12 hours. 0.1 is 2.4 hours.
I have some dated in this format "09-MAY-13 06.42.46.097127000 PM" and need to convert to this format "2013-05-09T18:42:47.132Z". my goal is to find out which happend earlier. I am not sure how to format these dates.

How I can do that??
I originally posted an answer which converted one of your formats to the other. I now see that you need to compare them, so you can convert this format in A2 to date/number values ....
09-MAY-13 06.42.46.097127000 PM
.....with this formula
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2,".",":",1),".",":",1)+0
and this format in A3
2013-05-09T18:42:46.097z
....with this formula
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A3,"T"," "),"z","")+0
You can format the results how you like, leave as numbers or format as m/d/yyyy hh:mm:ss.000 or similar. you can now compare easily with a formula like
=B2>B3
or get the smaller or larger with MIN or MAX
If have a value of your original style in cell A1, place the following formula in a different cell:
=DATE((2000+MID(A1,8,2)),MATCH(MID(A1,4,3),{"JAN","FEB","MAR","APR","MAY","JUN","JUL","AUG","SEP","OCT","NOV","DEC"},0),LEFT(A1,2))+TIME(MID(A1,11,2)+IF(RIGHT(A1,2)="PM",12,0),MID(A1,14,2),MID(A1,17,12))
Then, in that target cell, apply the following format:
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ
Please note the following:
This assumes that all of your months are 3 characters (JAN, FEB, MAR). Since your example was "MAY" (already 3 characters), I don't know with certainty how your other months appear. Longer month names complicate the formula a bit. I can help with this if you need it and don't know how to do it.
I couldn't find a way to force Excel to display fractional seconds in the context of such complex date/time formatting, even though your example showed seconds subdivided to the thousandths. Hopefully this isn't a deal-breaker. If it's necessary to display fractional seconds, you may need to handle this with a separate formula to display the result as text, independent of the formula above, which you can use for your calculations of which date came earlier.
To add to Joe's answer...
To get Excel to compare one column to the other you need to do the same sort of manipulation from the first column as the second.
That would look like
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,6,2),MID(A1,9,2))+TIME(MID(A1,12,2),MID(A1,15,2),MID(A1,18,5))
Once you have a new column for each of these transformations it should be simple to have Excel compare them.
