Excel 2013: Convert Hours and Minutes from hh:mm:ss formatted cell in decimal number - excel

I use Excel 2013 and have a cell with the following value:
"08.01.1900 1:45:00"
that will be displayed inside the cell as: "193:45:00" - meaning 193 hours, 45 minutes and 00 seconds (see the first image below).
Here is screen of how it looks like and the formatting of the cell
[how it looks like]
QUESTION: How I can in cell "Salary" to get decimal number, like - 193,45? Help me, please.
The cell is formatted as Time (see the image below)

So, you have Q2 = 12:30 (or 12,5 hours where 0,5 hour=30min) and R2 = 15,5 UAH/hour and since you want to calculate salary, you should multiple 12,5*15,5=193,75.
Follow next steps to achieve the desired result:
Write next formula in S2: =Q2*24*R2 (since time stored in Excel as part of a day, we need to multimply by 24 . Your value 12:30 is actually 0,520833333333333 ,you can see it if you'd format Q2 as number. Myltiplication 0,520833333333333 by 24 gives you exactly 12,5)
Format your S2 as number
the result would be 0,52*24*15,5 = 193,75 and this value is what you actually need.

How to convert UTC to PST in Excel for day and time formats?

In excel, I have a cell which is
13 05:58:57
which represents day 13, 5 am, 58 minutes, 57 seconds in UTC time.
I would like to convert to PST, which should be
12 10:58:57
which is day 12, 10 pm, 58 minutes, 57 seconds.
The day is just a day of the month. Is there a way to do this quickly in excel?
Excel stores date_times as numbers, where each day is 1, and the decimal part of the number is the time (so 0.25 is 6 hours, and 0.7 is 16 hours + 48 minutes)
Time 0 is the beginning of 1899/12/31, so =today() formatted as a decimal currently shows me as 44730.4556, being 44730 days since 1899 and almost eleven a.m.
Once you have your data in that format it is trivial to E.g.:
subtract 7 hours = A2 - 7/24
add 2 days 6 hours and 15 minutes = A2 + 2 + 6/24 + 15/24/60
find the difference between two date_times
So you want to get the input data into that form, from which point you just use formatting.
To see where you are going, enter in A1 = now(), in B1 =A1, in C1 = B1.
Change the format on B1 - Right Click | Format Cells | Custom | yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.
Then in C1 try changing to a format you want: dd hh:mm:ss AM/PM.
For a full list of options see https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/format-numbers-as-dates-or-times-418bd3fe-0577-47c8-8caa-b4d30c528309
I will assume that your data starts at A4, but I can't tell what is actually stored in the cell, as opposed to what it displays.
If your input data is actually already a date_time (what does it look like if you format is as a decimal?) all you need to do is =A4-7/24.
If your input data is actually a string, then separate it into day, hour, minute, second in C, D, E, F.
If single-digit days have leading zeros then just =left(A4,2) then =mid(A4,4,2) etc.
If there are no leading zeros put in column B =find(" ",A4) and point the lefts and mids to that intermediate result.
Then in G put = C4 + D4/24 + E4/24/60 + F4/24/60/60 so you have the input data as an Excel-formatted time.
And subtract the 7 hours difference with =G4-7/24
P.S. If you need to cope with month-ends and DST then you need to add year and month to the data in G - currently it has date_times in January 1899.

Excel 2013 Date time difference

I have a column with date and time for start (IN) and end (OUT) and I want to calculate the difference in days.
Date: IN Time: IN Date: OUT Time: OUT
24/07/2018 12:15:00 26/07/2018 06:11:00
I combine them into date time IN and OUT by using:
E1=TEXT(A2,"dd/mm/yy ")&TEXT(B2,"hh:mm:ss")
F1=TEXT(C2,"dd/mm/yy ")&TEXT(D2,"hh:mm:ss")
But I am unable to find any working code for the difference in number of hours.
TEXT will convert your dates and times into text (strangely enough).
Adding the date and time will return a date/time value so you could use:
=SUM(C2:D2)-SUM(A2:B2) to return 1.74722222
(edit: if you then give the cell a custom number format of d:h:mm it will display 1:17:56 or 1 day, 17 hours, 56 minutes).
(EDIT AGAIN: Sorry, only just seen you want it in hours. Give the cell a custom number format of [hh]:mm. The square brackets tells it to count over 24 hours. This will return 41:56).
or
=DATEDIF(SUM(A2:B2),SUM(C2:D2),"d") to return 2.
or if you just want days from the dates you could just use
=C2-A2 to return 2.
Dates and times in Excel are just numbers - no need to complicate things by turning them to text.
= (F1 - E1) * 24
Rather easly :)

How do I calculate this time? Across midnight

I have a sheet with start and end dates and values.
In C I have start date.
In E I have end date.
In I I have start time. (06:05:00)
In J I have end time. (08:33:00)
If C <>E I need to add 24 hours to the time elapsed.
How can I do that?
I tried if(C2<>E2;1+J2-I2;"omitted")
But I get the result 21:32:00.
It should be about 26 hours
(24+8-6 = 26 if we only look at the hours).
What have I done wrong?
Edit;
Back at work and can now upload some images.
Method 1
Method 2
Both return the wrong time.
EDIT2;
Method 3
I remember how I always have to format the dates from "our" format to Excels format for it to be recognized as a date.
In column P I use RIGHT(), MID(), and LEFT() to make a correct formatted date.
In R and S I use the same as P&Q column.
Still not correct.
:-/
EDIT again:
Use formula: =(E1+J1)-(C1+I1) we just add the date and time together and subtract the end from start and then format the cell having the formula to show days, hours, minutes.
This way, if you have more than 1 day difference, you're not just adding 24 hours.
Change the format of the target cell contianing the above formula to
d "days" hh "hours" mm "minutes"
or use the format tigerAvatar suggested of [hh]:mm if you want the hours to be cumulative across days.
Then you get a nice output of: 2 days 02 hours 28 minutes or 50:28
Feel free to drop the 1 h or 1 m if you don't want the leading zeros.
A picture is worth a 1000 words so:
Version 2 after your screenshots: I don't think C, E are in date format based on your updates so...
I used formula=(DATE(LEFT(E2,4),MID(E2,5,2),RIGHT(E2,2))+J2)-(DATE(LEFT(C2,4),MID(C2,5,2),RIGHT(C2,2))+I2) in K and custom format mask: [h]:mm
If this doesn't work it may be a regional setting and the interpretation of [h]:mm I am assuming I/J are time formats.

Adding/Subtracting Whole numbers from Time

I have tried every which way to format cells to subtract the result from time for instance the formula in the cell = 11(this is 11 minutes) I want to take that result minus 8:00:00 to give me 7:49:00 but it doesn't work the result is ####### no matter how big I make the cell. And if I format the cells with the formula to custom [m]:ss then the value changes.
Sample of the Worksheet:
I want Y2 = X3-W3 in a time format.
So, if A1=11
Then in some other cell, (B1 in this example): =TIME(,A1,)
Then subtract from the cell with 8:00:00. (If it's C1...:)
=C1-B1
That will give you the time you want.
Info: The main thing is that you have to tell Excel that your cell with the "11" in it, is minutes. By using the =TIME(,A1,) you will get the value of: 12:11 am. (If you keep it in Date format.) 12:11 am could also be viewed as: 0 Hours, 11 minutes, 0 seconds. And now that it knows, you should be able to subtract.
Try this:
=TIME(HOUR(X3),MINUTE(X3)-W3,SECOND(X3))
The ######### is because you have a negative time. Becuase Excel reads time as decimals of 24 hours, 8:00:00 is .3333 and if you subtract 11 from that you get -10.6666 and date/time can not be negative.

how to convert decimal time to hh:mm time format in excel

I have looked at all the options I can find on this forum, but I am unable to solve my problem. this may very well be because I only have basic excel skills. simple question..how do I convert a decimal time ie 9.25 into hh:mm format ie 09:25 ? I need to do this as I am using existing data that requires rounding to 15 mins + 2mins and I can only do this in hh:mm format. Many thanks
Assuming your value is in A1...
Get the hours
=FLOOR(A1, 1)
Get the decimal portion
=A1 - FLOOR(A1, 1)
Convert this decimal to minutes (0.25->25):
=(A1 - FLOOR(A1, 1)) * 100
Bring the whole lot together:
=TIME(Floor(A1, 1), (A1 - FLOOR(A1, 1)) * 100, 0)
Result: 9:25 AM
If it's a true decimal time then 9.25 hours should convert to 9:15. If that's the case you can just divide by 24, e.g. 9.25 in A1 then in B1
=A1/24
format B1 as [h]:mm and you'll get 9:15
....and if you really do want 9:25 as the answer you could try this formula
=TEXT(A1*100,"00\:00")+0
format result cell as [h]:mm- that will work even for values > 24
If you want you can do your conversion and rounding in one go, e.g. to round to the nearest 15 minutes the first formula becomes:
=MROUND(A1/24,"0:15")
Let's suppose you have 9.25 in cell A1. First you need to extract the integer part (9). Let's put this in B1:
=FLOOR(A1)
Now we must get the decimal part:
=A1-B1
And convert it into the ratio-to-60, so let's have this in C1:
=(A1-B1)/0.6
This way, 0.25 becomes 0.4166... (Of course 0.30 would become 0.50).
Finally, add both values and divide by 24. In Excel, dates/times are stores as decimal numbers in which 1 = 24 hours. So let's place this in D1:
=(B1+C1)/24
The result is 0.392... And if you give that cell a time format, you will see 09:25.
So, now let's put all together in one cell:
=(FLOOR(A1)+(A1-FLOOR(A1))/0.6)/24
Don't forget to format the cell as time (custom format "hh:mm", for example).
