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.

I’m so rusty on excel and I’m trying to work out a formula for this problem:
Shifts greater than 5 hours duration must take a 1 hour unpaid break.
I’m using for G5 =IF(G4>5:00:00,”1:00:00”,”0:00:00”)
G4 =shift duration, cell is formatted as [h]:mm
Once I get this to work I then add G4 and G5 and to get the shift finish time.
It sounds so simple but it’s driving me crazy!!! Any help would be appreciated!
Excel stores time field internally as numbers, where 1 is a complete day (which is 24 hours).
If G4 has the value "06:30" (a time ), Then a formula in G5 like this:
=G4*24, will give you the numeric value 6.5.
You formula to check for more than 5 hours can be:
IF(G4*24>5,"01:00:00","00:00:00")
But this will return a text (i.e.:"01:00:00"). This can be solved by adding the function TIMEVALUE()
=TIMEVALUE(IF(G4*24>5,"01:00:00","00:00:00"))
EDIT:
Another way can be:
=IF(G4>TIME(5,0,0),"01:00:00","00:00:00")
I need to operate on values greater than 9999:59 (up until 20000:00) in Excel. I used [h]:mm format but it seems it is not possible to do operation (like summation of two column) for values greater than 9999:59.
I already have the data so it's not possible for me to write it in another format.
I tried other formats such as [hhhhhh]:mm and [HH]:MM which my colleagues told me but they didn't work too.
Is there any way to do this?
You can certainly operate on time values > 9999:59:59
But you cannot directly enter values greater than 9999:59:59 into a worksheet cell:
From Excel Specifications and Limits:
Largest amount of time that can be entered: 9999:59:59
The reason for your #VALUE! error in I3 is because, when you entered 1000:12 into H3, since it is greater than the amount that can be directly entered, Excel has changed it to a text string.
But see this:
The formula:
H3: =H2+TIME(0,13,0)
If you must work with directly entered times greater than 9999:59:59, then you can enter that time differently in some other column, and use a formula to convert it:
For example, enter the time as a decimal number, where the decimal represents the minutes (be sure to use leading zero's for minutes < 10. eg 1 minute = 0.01)
F4: 10000.12 10000 hours 12 minutes
H4: =DOLLARDE(F4,60)/24
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 have some time data that has been imported into excel. For example, the cell will have:
10:01:55 AM
The format is Custom as hh:mm:ss AM/PM.
I want to convert this into seconds so I can run some calculations. I've tried playing with the format to no avail.
I've also tried this but it results in 0.
= HOUR(A1)*3600 + MINUTE(A1)*60 + SECOND(A1)
Any idea will be appreciated!
Your formula seems correct to me, though there might be a more direct way to do the conversion. I think your confusion is arising because the cell into which you entered the formula is still formatted as hh:mm:ss AM/PM. If you change the formatting of the cell to Number (CTRL + 1 then select "Number"), then you get the output you want:
Update:
Based on the detective work from #micuzzo, an alternative to the lengthy formula is to simple use:
A1 * 86400
where 86400 is the number of seconds in a 24 hour day.
I just had to change the format of the cell to get what you wanted. You can right click on the cell and select Format cell then choose General.
