In column A1 I have 16304238, which represents Hour, Minutes, Seconds and Milliseconds, which I want to display in B1 as 4:30:42:380 PM.
I know how to format with hour and minutes, but can't get the seconds and millisecond correct. I tried
=TIME(LEFT(E2,2),MID(E2,3,2),RIGHT(E2,2))
Which comes out as 16:30:38.000. Also, I'm using
[h]:mm:ss.000
to format the result. What do I need to use, instead of [h], to get AM/PM instead or military time?
Change your formula to:
=--CONCATENATE(LEFT(E2,2),":",MID(E2,3,2),":",MID(E2,5,2),".",RIGHT(E2,2))
Then format the cell to:
h:mm:ss.000 AM/PM
With 16304238 as a true number in A1,
=--TEXT(A1*POWER(10, MIN(0, 6-LEN(A1))), "00\:00\:00.000")
This covers 0, 1, 2 or 3 decimal places. The result requires cell formatting as h:mm:ss.000 AM/PM.

Is there a way for me to format a column where the values I enter in the format HH:MM (elapsed time, not datetime) are converted to hours in decimal, preferably in the same column via some custom formula?
For example,
HH:MM
H (Decimal)
07:39
7.65
02:15
2.25
06:00
6
At the moment, I manually calculate the equivalent and enter them into the column but it would be nice to directly copy a timestamp and have the column automatically format it but I couldn't see an option for this in Date/Time formatting settings.
Simply multiply your hh:mm durations by 24, ensuring that the cells where you want the decimal hours returned are formatted as 'Number'. Or to force formatting as a number using a formula: =text(duration_cell*24,"#.##") where duration_cell is a cell with the duration in hh:mm format.
There is no way to do that I know of because Excel stores times/dates as floats. Each 24 hour period equals 1, therefore 7:33 equals .31458 Therefore, you won't be able to do this without a helper column.
You can do this with either #The God of Biscuits answer, or alternatively your helper column can have the formula:
=(A1*24)
and you set that column's cell format to Number.
All date and time is a format of a double value.
Time is the amount after the comma.
And all in front of comma is days since 00.01.1900.
Meaning 07:37:00 = 0,32 days.
Excel have a ways to pull the amount of hours with =HOUR('Your referance date time cell value')
You can aply this formula: =HORA(A2)+(MINUTO(A2)/60)
I've found a gazillion examples/demos to convert HH:MM time into a number of minutes, but I have an integer value representing the minutes, and wish to display that number in another cell as HH:MM.
I'm not great with Excel. I've tried numerous things, here's one:
=TEXT(INT(O18/60)+MOD(O18,60), "00\:00")
Cell O18 has an integer value, such as 517 - I wish to display that number as, basically:
(517/60) : MOD(517/60)
For example, using the TIME function:
=TEXT(TIME(0,O18,0),"hh:mm")
Or since there are 1440 minutes per day:
=TEXT(O18/1440,"hh:mm")
Or just use =O18/1440 and apply a number format of hh:mm to the cell.
I have got a start date and end date in this custom format
dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm in excel cells.
What i need is to fill specific row with dates incremented by half hour from start date to end date using VBA code. And i havent got any idea how to do this.
On web there are some examples with similar problems but with only months or only hours and those are dates format not custom.
You can do this with a simple formula.
Write your start date into cell A1
In A2 write =A1+(1/48)
Copy formula from A2 down
done.
How does this work?
Excel dates are represented as count of days since 1900. That means 1900-01-01 is the first day and represented by 1. All other dates are just the count of days since then. 1 represents one day. So since 1 day has 24 hours 1/48 represents half an hour.
The number format dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm how Excel shows the date is not relevant, because Excel only saves the value (amount of days since 1900) in the cell value.
So if you type the date of today into a cell 2018-10-11 Excel actually saves 43384 in the cell value (today it is 43384ᵗʰ day since 1900-01-01).
One option is to find the interval between start and stop point. Remember that excel dates that are actually dates and not strings are actually integers. The second thing to remember is time is the decimal part which represent fraction of a day. Test if your date (assuming it's in A1) is an actual date or a string with
=ISNUMBER(A1)
If that comes back TRUE you do not need to worry about converting your date. If it comes back FALSE, its actually a string and will need to be converted for excel to work with it.
Divide this interval by 30 minutes, or 30/60/24 to and add 1. This will tell you how many iteration you will need which you can put into a For loop
Start_Number = Range("A1")
End_number = Range(("A2")
Stamp = Start_Number
Interval_number = End_Number - Start_Number
Counter = integer of (Interval_number / (30/60/24))
For x = 1 to counter
write Stamp to cell
Stamp = Stamp + 30/60/24
Next x
Allternatively you could set up a while loop.
Do While datetime < Stop_Point
Write datetime to cell
Datetime=datetime + 30/60/24
Loop
Please note, not actual code but giving idea where OP had no idea where to start.
I am trying to take the values of time passed (formatted HH:MM:SS) and convert it to just minutes.
The issue I am having is that when I try and get the value of the time-value cell, it converts it to some odd value.
Example:
Wrong Value (what Excel gives me now, in worksheet):
34:32:12 = 1.43902777777778
Right Value (what Excel should give me):
34:32:12 = 2072.2
Calcualted:
34*60 + 32 + 12/60
Assuming your source value is in cell A1, here is all you need:
=N(A1*1440)
This method does not require a reformatting of the output cell.
How does it work?
Dates and times are stored in Excel as a combined number... where the integer portion represents the number of days since December 31, 1899 (although the year that Excel calculates from can be changed to 1904 in the Excel Options, but that is immaterial).
The decimal portion of the stored number represents the time component to associate with the date.
Your value of 1.43902777777778 is correct. It states that the ~34.5 hours represents ~1.44 days.
Since you are interested in minutes, we convert that days figure to minutes by multiplying by 1440 as there are 1440 minutes in a day.
The N() function that wraps that calculation ensures that the displayed output is treated as numeric by Excel. Otherwise the output cell would adopt the date-formatting of A1.
Either format the cell as [m] to see 2072, or multiply by 1440 (the number of minutes in a day) and format as 0.0 to see 2072.2
I am looking a formula for excel that minus a feild called end time by field start time and answer will show as the total amount of seconds the calls lasted.
For example i have call that ended 04:04:35 and started at 03:51:51 and i need to how many seconds that would be in total and instead of working by calucator would like to know if there fourmula to do it
thanks

The easiest is to set the two cells as time (hh:mm:ss) then subtract them.
Put the result on a new cell, formatted as a number and multiply the result by 86400.
See this post for the explanation
EDIT: the final cell has to be in number format, something like this:
A B C
Cells 1 03:51:51 04:04:35 =(B1-A1)*86400
Cell format: hh:mm:ss hh:mm:ss number
