I have a column of date-time numbers, "DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS". At this moment, I want to remove "SS" from it and left "DD/MM/YY HH:MM". I tried DATE and TIME function separately but only one part left, DATE:"DD/MM/YY" and TIME:"HH:MM", also, I tried CONCATENATE function but it doesn't work, so could anyone do me a favour? Thanks in advance.
If you want to completely remove the seconds from the data.
Try: =1*TEXT(C2,"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm")
Multiplying the text result by 1 converts the text back to a number.
Select the cell(s) to be modified and tap Ctrl+1. Go to the Number tab and chose Custom from the list down the left. Supply the following for the Type:
dd/mm/yy hh:mm ◄ EN-US
pp/kk/vv tt:mm ◄ FI-FI
Click OK and you should be set.
You can try LEFT. Assuming I understand your question and you have DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS in one cell, you can use =LEFT(cell,14)
Try this formula:
Round(CELL * 60 * 24 , 0)/60/24
Try =TEXT(A1,"DD/MM/YY HH:MM")
I have a column showing dates "27/01/2015 18:43:00"
I changed them to show as Number "42031.78"
I then used Data/Text to columns and used the period or full stop as the delimiter.
This gave me two columns "42031.00" and "7798611111.00"
I deleted the second column and changed the original column back to short date format. "27/01/2015"
No more hours and seconds!
to remove the seconds just do =INT("cell number"*1440)/1440

I have the list of data that showing the Hours and the Minutes that I extract from the system. I need to be extract the hours.
As example below, column B first row, the Hours would be 64 and the minutes would be 46.
But when I used the formula =Hour , its turn up the different value since its actually decimal number.
Cannot use left() , it will give the actual decimal number.
Updated:
We tried the #harun24HR 's but cannot readable the value.
But if you noticed, if i copy and paste the value is different. thats why the search not applicable.
4th Update:
To Solar Mike, I have tried the formula given from the thread the i think the value not readable
It's a time value which Excel stores as calculated value based on 24 hours = 1.
To retrieve the hours only you can use:
=INT(A2*24)
To retrieve the minutes only you can use:
=(A1-(INT(A1*24)/24))*24*60
Your time value is already a number in time format so you just need it to change it to decimal system. Dates and time values are numbers. Even if you see it as 30/09/2019 or 12:00:00, actually, for Excel, both cases are numbers.
First date Excel can recognize properly is 01/01/1900 which integer numeric value is 1. Number 2 would be 02/01/1900 and so on. Actually, today is 44659.
Now, about your data, you posted this screenshoot:
So the value is numeric, not text/string. In Excel, what you see is not always what you have. Probably that column has been formatted using custom mask. My fake data is like this:
The numeric value is 02/01/1900 16:46:36 (or 02/01/1900 4:46:36 PM it depends on your regional settings) but I've applied a custom format like this:
[hh]" hours" mm " minutes"
So what I have is a number but what I see is a text!
We have to work with the number (to be honest, ist's easier to work with numbers), so to extract the total hours, minutes and seconds.
Formula in B1: =INT(A1*24) total hours
Formula in C1: =INT(A1*24*60-B1*60) total minutes
Formula in D1: =A1*24*60*60-B1*60*60-C1*60 total seconds
This should guide you on whatever are you trying to achieve.
From your current sample data you try-
For hour =LEFT(A2,SEARCH(" ",A2)-1)
For minutes =RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2," minutes",""),2)
I need to add 1 day in 2019-05-23T00:00:00Z, then expand this to 3-months from the excel bottom-right corner of the cell.
The expected result is 2019-05-24T00:00:00Z.
I already tried:
=A8+TIME(24;0;0) with no seccess.
I dont want to convert my time i only want to add 1 day.
Thanks in advance!
convert to date then add then convert back:
=TEXT(REPLACE(REPLACE($A$1,20,1,""),11,1," ")+ROW(1:1),"yyyy-mm-dd\Thh:mm:ss\Z")
For your local settings it appears you need to replace the , delimiter to ;
I have a simple case:
my j9-cell has formula: =h9-g9
when h9 has value 17:30 and g9 has value 17:00 j9 results 00:30 ... its ok!
but when h9 has value 16:30 it crashes..
Instead of showing -00:30 (as I expected) it shows a lot of #.
Am I missing something in formula? Thanks in advance.
Your calculation is producing a negative value, which constitutes an invalid date/time.
One way to fix it is to switch to the "1904 date system". To do this, select the "File" tab, then select "Options", then select "Advanced", then find the "Use 1904 date system" checkbox, and select it (this works when using Excel 2010 and newer).
Another way to fix it would be to change your formula to:
=IF(h9-g9<0, "-" & TEXT(ABS(h9-g9),"hh:mm"), h9-g9)
Warning: This produces a text value which may not be valid when used in other calculations.
What I would use:
=IF(H9>G9;"";"-")&TEXT(ABS(H9-G9);"h:mm")
This will generate the elapsed time as a text value, also if it's a negative result.
And since the result will always be a text, the format of the calculated field doesn't have to be changed to time.
Note: On a Dutch version of Excel the TEXT() formatting must be "u:mm" to make this work.
Excel does not appreciate negative time. You might want to incorporate a date into your calculations or possibly (maybe with a formula such as =IF(H9>G9,H9-G9,1+G9-H9) format 'negative' time results in red with conditional formatting, or use fractions of a day instead of time.
An addition to Mr. TL Couger's equation.
=IF(G8-E8<0,"-"&TEXT(ABS(G8-E8),"hh:mm"),TEXT((G8-E8),"hh:mm"))
Using this equation will always format a time difference(positive or negative) to a 00:00.
It's just as the title says, I cannot convert the serial numbers generated from the DATE and TIME function to a Date and Time Format.
I have this date: 27/11/2012 1:09 PM (originally typed in as text and not acknowledged as date and time, because it was aligned to the left). So instead, I decided to use the DATE and TIME function like so:
=(DATE(2014,8,26) & TIME(13,27,0))
It resulted with a serial number. So I googled on ways how to convert the serial number to a date format. OF course, I already tried formatting a cell by right-clicking it and selecting the Date category but still no luck.
Now that I think about it, is the formula above alright? I mean is it okay to use date and time in one cell? By the way, the dates and times were manually typed in in one cell. And I do not have an option to segregate each date and time elements per cell.
UPDATE: So I tried doing it with just the DATE function only and the formatting worked. Is there any way that even the time is included?
=(DATE(2014,8,26) + TIME(13,27,0))
Use "+" for date and time concord-nation :)
I am trying to calculate the hour difference between two times. What I've been doing now only gives me hour indications like 1:30, 2:45, etc but I can't make diagrams based on these values. If I get 2:30 as the hour difference, it should become 2,5. if the difference is 2:45 that should be 2,75.
Change your formula to:
(B2-A1)*24
and format as General
You should just be able to subtract 1 datetime from the other. Try this:
In cell A1, enter "09/17/2012 10:00" (Excel should automatically recognize this as a date)
In cell A2, enter "09/17/2012 11:30"
In cell A3, "=(A2-A1)*24". The result is 1.5.
The problem may be that you are trying to subtract 1 'time' from another 'time' without a date component. In that case, Excel may not recognize your value as a 'time'. Try adding a dummy date to the beginning of the time.
One limitation of this is that you will get an error response of "########" if the 2nd date is earlier than the 1st (because the result is negative). If this is an issue, try "=ABS(A2-A1)*24" instead.
