Hello. I have a sheet that utilizes time in 24hr format. There are some time calculations that result in how many hours an employee has left to work, and displays it in the 24hr format.
Is there a way to split the value and add text to have the cell show "11hrs 30 mins" rather than "11:30"? Currently I can get it to show " You have 11 hrs and 01 mins left to work" but how do I get it to show 30 mins instead of the 01? I assume the "(D7,"mm")" is where the problem is.
I get that I may need to split the "11:30:00" imto multiple cells to pull the data from. I can do that through the data tab, but it doesn't seem to be dynamic (F9:G9). Or with a formula using LEFT, MID, RIGHT (F11) but I get #VALUE error when I try and do it with a number. I definately prefer something like the formula I have in F7 though.

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
And this is why I love this page.
Thank you.
I may have tagged it as fixed too soon. It doesn't work if the time remaining is over 24 hours. 25:30 gives an answer of "1 hours and 30 mins" As well, and less of an issue, it doesnt recognize :00 as minutes. 25:00 gives an answer of "1 hours and mins".
D7 is formatted [h]:mm:ss

See if this works. If not what's the formula you have in D7.

Book1
BCDEF
7
82/20/2024 15:062/20/2024 8:4606:20You have 6 Hours and 20 min left to work
92/20/2024 11:002/20/2024 10:2600:34You have 0 Hours and 34 min left to work
102/20/2024 11:002/20/2024 10:0001:00You have 1 Hours and 0 min left to work
112/20/2024 1:002/19/2024 11:0014:00You have 14 Hours and 0 min left to work

Perhaps modify cell F7 like this:
Excel Formula:
="You have "&TEXT(INT(C7) * 24 + HOUR(C7),"#")&" hours and "&TEXT(MINUTE(C7),"0")&" mins left to work."

@riv01 That is a shorter formula. You need to change the "#" in your formula to "0" so that it shows 0 hours as in F9.

This one and the last solution both seem to work. I'll keep them both handy in case i run into other issues. Thank you for the help.
