Hi
=now()-1 is going to subtract todays date by 1 but same time. How can I subtract the time as well, lets say 2hr minus? is that possible? Thank you.

Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.

If what you are really looking for is yesterday's date without a time component, then use TODAY() instead of now, i.e.
=TODAY()-1

Try
Code: 
=NOW()-1.083333

Time in excel is part of a 24 hour day so 2/24=.08333333

Thank you all for the help. I got it. I thought I need another operation for the time. It does make sense now. Thank you.
