Can any one provide an Excel equation that will compute the difference between two UTC timestamps.
The UTC time stamps have the format yyyymmddhhmmssZ (e.g 20160127175049Z). The difference between time stamps is at most few hours so, I will like the answer to be in minutes or hours.
Appreciate any guidance. Thanks
To change the time stamps into a date/time that excel can use, use this formula:
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2)) + TIME(MID(A1,9,2),MID(A1,11,2),MID(A1,13,2))
Then format it with a custom format of your desire.
Then it is just a matter of subtracting one from the other.
Then formatting it like [hh]:mm:ss

I need a formula that will convert a date and time into a unix timestamp. I suppose a logical starting point could be in the format of the result of =NOW() i.e. 25/10/2021 15:26 or the result thereof split into two cells for convenience but I'm not quite sure about how to proceed.
Thanks in advance!
Since the Unix time stamp is the number of seconds since 1/1/1970, we can simple take the date we want, subtract 1/1/1970 and multiply by the number of seconds in a day:
=(NOW()-"1/1/1970")*60*60*24
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)
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.
I have collected some details from sql and it shows a birthdates as following (each line represents a different birthdate):
-294022800
649119600
-138675600
49158000
32396400
631152000
-2147483648
731894400
-408067200
522025200
I was trying to change them in excel using this formula:
=DATE(INT(A1/10000),INT((A1-10000*INT(A1/10000))/100),A1-(100*INT(A1/100)))
But it didnt work well, it must be in different format. Do you know what sort of format it is and how to convert it to date in excel? why some of numbers are negatives?
Can this be the EPOCH format? how to change it to normal human date in excel?
My guess would be that they are unix timestamps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time
In excel, you can use something like:
=(((A1/60)/60)/24)+DATE(1970,1,1)
Although, you will have to watch out for the fact that your datetimes seem to include daylight savings offsets. (Some of them are multiples of a day (24*60*60), but others are an hour out). I'm not sure why you have a non-hour multiple in there (-2147483648), possibly some quirk of the original system.

Unix timestamps can be converted with this formula
=A1/86400+DATE(1970,1,1)
The Unix timestamp is seconds since 1/1/1970 so birthdates before then would be negative. [one of the birthdates translates to 1901 - is that right? You'll have problems if any of the dates are before 1900 because Excel doesn't recognise those dates]
ok, I figured it out. This is the formula:
=(A1-(4*3600))/86400+25569
Essentially I have two timestamps as YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm and I want to find the time elapsed in days.
Excel can do this either with just time or just the date but not when the two are combined. I realize that this is not an uncommon timestamp format, and there is probably some way to calculate this simply with Excel functionality.
Any help would be appreciated :)
This is a duplicate of several questions in the past - so if someone wants to look for one of those and flag this question as a duplicate - that would probably be appropriate - but in the meantime:
Good Luck.
You can convert the timestamp to date only with INT(), giving you the following formula:
=INT(A1)-INT(B1)
