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")

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)
I wish to find a Random Time between a given Time range containing Time format HH MM SS using a Randbetween function from excel. I just google around and came to know below function helps to get the result i need. but i need an explanation as i dint understand how this formula works. eg i dont know why it use 0 here and multiply and divide by 1000
=(RANDBETWEEN(0,($B$14-$A$14)*10000)/10000)+$A$14
B14 is ending time eg: 8:30
A14 is starting time eg: 7:30
Say we have two genuine times like:
9:15:23 AMand2:34:21 PM
If we first convert both times into integer seconds, we can use RANDBETWEEN(). Place the values in A1 and A2
then in B1 enter:
=A1*24*60*60
and copy downward.
In C1 enter:
=randbetween(b1,b2)/86400
and format as time:
In cell B239, I have 37:15 which represent the total number of hours it took someone to complete a task.
In cell C239 I have the following formula
=INT(B239)*24+HOUR(B239)+ROUND(MINUTE(B239)/60,2)
which gives me 37.25 that is 37 hours and a quarter of 100. I am happy with this result and it does what I am looking for. However, in B241 I have 24:00 which should technically return 24.00 but it returns 0 in cell C241 instead.
It is as if 24:00 is recognised as midnight rather than 24 hours.
Note that the format of B239 and C239 is [h]:mm. B241 and C241 format is general.
Many thanks for your assistance

Try this:
=TEXT(B239*24,"00.00")
on 24:00 it will return 24.00
As # Darren Bartrup-Cook mentioned this will be a text field so any reference using this needs to convert it to a number. There are many ways to do this.
You can us the double negative on the result, lets assume the result of the above formula is in C239:
=--C239
But ultimately the best method to do what you want is to format the cell in which you want the value as "General" with two decimal places then the whole thing can be done with one formula:
=Round(B239 * 24,2)
This will return a number and not a text with the correct formatting.
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.
I am looking for a neat way of converting a cell from
Minutes:Seconds.Milliseconds to
Seconds.Milliseconds
i.e.
11.111 = 11.111
1:11.111 = 71.111
I have something in place at the moment but its a bit hacky and I am sure there must be some nice excel feature to do this for me :P
Thanks!
Do this:
Place values 0:0:11.111 and 0:1:11.111 in cells B3 and B4 respectively.
Now format it to account for the milliseconds... Select cells B3 and B4, right click and choose Format Cells. In Custom, put the following in the text box labeled Type:
[h]:mm:ss.000
Now on cell C3 put the following formula:
=B3*86400
Fill C4 with the same formula...
Format column C as Number with 3 decimal places.
You're done! :)
Here's a screenshot of the attempt I made and that worked:
Edit:
As you wanna enter only MM:SS.ms you can format the entire B column with a custom format like: mm:ss.000. Now you can enter values as 02:11.111 and it'll convert it accordingly giving you 131.110. Hope it helps.
say your time is in cell A1, place this formula in B1
=IF(LEN(A1)>5,VALUE(TEXT(A1,"[ss].00")),A1)
If the time is less than a minute it outputs the time unaltered, greater than 1 minute it converts it to seconds & milliseconds (2 decimal places).
This will only work if your time in A1 is 10 seconds or greater.
