Time Formula
Posted by Paul Magruder on March 08, 2001 11:56 AM
Is there a formula or code that will give me the amount of minutes between 2 time frames?
Example: a "=now" formula returns 14:30, another "=now" returns 14:34. I need a formula that will allow me to subtract one from the other and return 4 min.
I tried to convert the time into numbers, and then do the subtraction, but the return is 00:04( 4 min after midnight)I just meed the amount of minutes inbtween the time frames.
Thanks in advance Paul Magruder

Paul, if you format, the cell containing the
difference of your times (e.g., ="14:34-"14:30")
as [m] it will display the elapsed time in minutes.
Internally, this elapsed time is stored as a
fraction of a 24-hr day. In the case of 4
elapsed minutes that value would be 0.002778. If
you need this value converted to minutes you'd
use the formula, =0.002778*24*60.
