Extract time from a date time string in excel - excel

i have this string which is in a date and time format (10/25/2013 8:54:00 PM),i want to extract the time from each cell and sum them to find the total time.
please can someone suggest me how to do it???

Try this formula to extract the time:
=TIME(HOUR(A1),MINUTE(A1),SECOND(A1))
Then, summarize the values and use "d h:mm" number format for the cell.

Assuming your date format is MM\DD\YYYY h:mm:ss AM/PM. Use this formula to extract time value:
=TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-11))
This value is in days. I.e. if there is 6 hours, the value will be 0.25. To get number of hours multiply it by 24.

If your string is a properly-recognised Excel Date/Time format, simply:
=MOD(A1,1)
Format as hh:mm if you wish.
Regards

If you values are in ColumnA (start) and B (corresponding finish) then something like:
=B1-A1
formatted as Time should suit with summing of the results.

Convert HH:MM values to H in the same column

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)

Excel formula to convert minutes to HH:MM format

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.

Convert text string (1st/2nd etc) into dd/mm/yyyy

I need to try to convert a basic string i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd into a date formatted as dd/mm/yyyy where the mm/yyyy part are this current month and year and the day equals the "number" in the cell.
For example
Cell K5 contains the string "1st"
Formula in cell A5 takes K5 and converts to 01/11/2019
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for the help in advance
Use this to strip the last two characters:
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-2))
Then format as desired. Mine is mm/dd/yyyy
Do you mean like this:
If so, you have to remove letters from selection then excel will convert them into date. For clarity, remove letters, then convert cells to date format.

How to change a timespan into decimal format in excel?

I have the following problem. In my excel sheet, I subtracted two time values to get its timespan.
Here is an example:
16:30-8:00=8:30
the cell format is a time so its all fine. Now the problem:
I need to show the timespan also as a decimal. So the 8:30 should be a 8,50
Anybody know how to do this?
Use =24*(B2-C2), where the cell where calculation happens should be formatted in 2 decimal number format .
B2= start time.
C2= End time.
Try this
Say A3 is 08:30, you can put this in A4
=HOUR(A3) & TEXT(MINUTE(A3)/60, ".00")

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
