Good morning all,

Something very strange is happening to my excel calculations when I attempt to calculate minutes to midnight.
Here is my data:

Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
C2:D21C2=VALUE(A2)
E2:E21E2=1440-C2
F2:F21F2=E2*1440


As you can see I can calculate time to midnight but when I try and convert it into minutes I get the wrong figure.
If I type the times and use the *1440 calculation it works but it will not use the data I currently have in my sheet. I have tried changing the format but nothing is working.
I am sure this is something simple but for the life of me I cannot see it!!!
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.
Thank you
Sara

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Hi, you need to change the column E formula to
Excel Formula:
=1-C2

Solution
E2: =(TIME(0,0,0)+1-(C2))
F2: =(TIME(0,0,0)+1-(C2))*60


We do a +1 to flip the time to the next day if you're curious.
