In my Excel sheet I have a column with dates and times which looks like this: 27.09.2016 14:02:03
I would like to get the difference between each pair of date in seconds.
For Example: 10.10.2016 13:00:10 - 10.10.2016 13:00:00 = 10s
If I do
= A 1- A2
I get 0,000115741
Can anyone please help me?
The value is in days (24 hours) not in seconds. 10 seconds are (almost) exactly that fraction of 24 hours that you get as the answer. Multiply it with 60x60x24 and you get your 10 seconds.
Alex. S response is good enough, you can also multiply what you are getting by 86400 (which is the result of 60*60*24, you just save some operations) There are other alternatives you can explore.

I have a date with hours and minutes like 2/3/2019 10:30 am , and I do the following to find the diffence in hours which I already formatted like ( h )
=now() - date
I want to check if the difference is more than 12 ( where I mean 12 hours) to do something.
if(actual difference>12; "hello"; "bye")
But is not checking the actual difference but the serial difference
How can I check the actual difference in hours?
Dates are stored as numbers where the integer part is the number of days since 1899-12-31. The fractional part measures the time within a day. So, 24 * (now() - date) will give you the number of hours elapsed.
NB: the formatting is only a question of display and won't influence what's done by the formulas.
In order to check conditionaly the difference in the hours unit between two times we can do if(hour(actual difference)>12; "hello"; "bye")
We put the function hour() as noted in

let’s say I am getting paid 20$ per hour by by my employer and he wants to calculate hours+minutes (not only hours).
if I just want to calculate hours I will use =x*20 in excel
but I want to calculate hours and minutes, let’s say I worked for 1.30 hours, I can use same formula and write 1.30*20= but this doesn't work
the rate in cents is something like 33 cents, how can I just type something like 1.30 (one hour and 30 min) and get the result calculated according to 20$ per hour.
I don’t want to write in minutes because then each time I have to calculate manually then write and it will be messy.
I want to just type hours and minutes in one filed and get the result based on 20$ per hour on the other field. thanks
I use this formula: =ROUND(HOUR(X) + MINUTE(X)/60;2)*20 where X is the cell with the time
I'd use something like: =(TRUNC(x)+MOD(x,1)/0.6)*20
Trunc(x) = hours
Mod(x,1) = fractional part (0.3)
Convert the Mod value to Minutes by dividing by 0.60
Where x = the hour.minute value. (e.g., 1.3 = 1 hour 30 minutes)
This is probably a really long way to do it.
Take the time, as 1.3 for 1 hour 30 mins, remove the minutes and convert to a number you can multiply by, add the hours back and multiply by the hourly rate.
`=(((Time-INT(Time)) * 100/60) + INT(Time))*20
I need to change a value of time from days:hours:minutes, into either hours with a decimal or minutes. My data comes up as 001:05:46 for example. I am having trouble with the leading zeros confusing excel. Any help would be great!
Assuming that your value to parse is formatted in DDD:HH:MM like 001:05:46... There are a lot of ways to do this but here's a simple one. To convert into hours we need to take the days times 24 hours per day, add the hours, and add the minutes times 1 hour per 60 minutes:
=LEFT(A1,3)*24+MID(A1,5,2)+RIGHT(A1,2)/60
To get this value in terms of minutes we multiply by 60 minutes per hour. A possible modification of the original formula to reach this point would be:
=LEFT(A1,3)*24*60+MID(A1,5,2)*60+RIGHT(A1,2)
I have a spreadsheet which contains the hours individual employees have worked in a month.
This column is set to a custom format [h]:mm:ss. I want to convert the hours worked into an integer.
I'm using this formula to try and convert the values:
=(HOUR(F4)*60+MINUTE(F4)*60+SECOND(F4))/60
Nothing is coming out as expected, though.
For 159:05:45, I get 20.75, for example.
Can anyone explain what's going on and how to correct this?
Hour * 60 gives you minutes
Minutes * 60 gives you seconds
And you're adding both; which immediately doesn't sound right.
If you want the time in minutes, you can do something like that:
=F4*24*60
And format as number.
Date/time is stored in days. Multiply by 24 to get in terms of hours and by 60 to get minutes.
Use =((TEXT(f4,"[hh]")*60)+MINUTE(f4)+(SECOND(f4)/60))
I am doing some work in Excel and am running into a bit of a problem. The instruments I am working with save the date and the time of the measurements and I can read this data into Excel with the following format:
A B
1 Date: Time:
2 12/11/12 2:36:25
3 12/12/12 1:46:14
What I am looking to do is find the difference in the two date/time stamps in mins so that I can create a decay curve from the data. So In Excel, I am looking to Make this (if the number of mins in this example is wrong I just calculated it by hand quickly):
A B C
1 Date: Time: Time Elapsed (Minutes)
2 12/11/12 2:36:25 -
3 12/12/12 1:46:14 1436.82
I Have looked around for a bit and found several methods for the difference in time but they always assume that the dates are the same. I exaggerated the time between my measurements some but that roll over of days is what is causing me grief. Any suggestions or hints as to how to go about this would be great. Even If I could find the difference between the date and times in hrs or days in a decimal format, I could just multiple by a constant to get my answer. Please note, I do have experience with programming and Excel but please explain in details. I sometimes get lost in steps.
time and date are both stored as numerical, decimal values (floating point actually). Dates are the whole numbers and time is the decimal part (1/24 = 1 hour, 1/24*1/60 is one minute etc...)
Date-time difference is calculated as:
date2-date1
time2-time1
which will give you the answer in days, now multiply by 24 (hours in day) and then by 60 (minutes in hour) and you are there:
time elapsed = ((date2-date1) + (time2-time1)) * 24 * 60
or
C3 = ((A3-A2)+(B3-B2))*24*60
To add a bit more perspective, Excel stores date and times as serial numbers.
Here is a Reference material to read up.
I would suggest you to use the following:
Combine date to it's time and then do the difference. So it will not cause you any issues of next day or anything.
Please refer to the image with calculations. You may leave your total minutes cell as general or number format.
MS EXCEL Article: Calculate the difference between two times
Example as per this article
Neat way to do this is:
=MOD(end-start,1)*24
where start and end are formatted as "09:00" and "17:00"
Midnight shift
If start and end time are on the same day the MOD function does not affect anything. If the end time crosses midnight, and the end is earlier then start (say you start 23PM and finish 1AM, so result is 2 hours), the MOD function flips the sign of the difference.
Note that this formula calculates the difference between two times (actually two dates) as decimal value. If you want to see the result as time, display the result as time (ctrl+shift+2).
https://exceljet.net/formula/time-difference-in-hours-as-decimal-value
get n day between two dates, by using days360 function =days360(dateA,dateB)
find minute with this formula using timeA as reference =(timeB-$timeA+n*"24:00")*1440
voila you get minutes between two time and dates
I think =TEXT(<cellA> - <cellB>; "[h]:mm:ss") is a more concise answer. This way, you can have your column as a datetime.
