In time (Column BF14)15/02/2022 2:27 PM and out time (Column BF15)16/02/2022 2:52 PM, how to find the no of hours, minutes between these two dated
Hi
I am Raju, looking for solution to get total spent market visit time by an employee. for example, below are the rows for daily spent time, and 3rd column is the daily spent duration, bu how can I get the total cumulative of a week or month auto sum in 3rd columns down. the formula I used between time in and time out is as =TEXT([@[TIME OUT]]-[@[TIME IN]],"h:mm") and need to get total time spend from 3rd column
TIME IN TIME OUT Total Time Spent
09:00:00 09:30:00 0:30
09:35:00 10:00:00 0:25
10:10:00 10:30:00 0:20
how do you add/subtract time with milliseconds? I don't see a formula for this.
IE: m/d/yyyy h.mm.ss.000
i'm trying to replicate the example you have in Formula1 but i only get #VALUE!
i am not sure why this happens and i am using the exact same values as you.
I'm trying to subtract 500:00 from 15000:00 and it gives me #VALUE!.
PLEASE ANY HELP.
How do I calculate hours above 10000:00 ?
Is there a way to calculate the difference in time between these two values?
Dec 30 2017 4:09PM and Jan 3 2018 9:18AM
Or is there a way to reformat these cells so I can? The date and time are in one single cell.
Thank you,
Jenna

=TIME((HOUR(B1)+24)-HOUR(A1),MINUTE(B1)-MINUTE(A1),0)
or
=(B1+24)-A1
Where cell A1 is “23:45”, cell B1 is “02:15”

Hey,,
Thanks for the information you shared really useful!
But let's say that we have this table
Time of sample Seconds between samples*
9:30 5550
12:35 9450
14:45 6150
16:00 7650
19:00 5400
*assuming start sampling time 9:30 and end sampling time 19:00
How I will find the Seconds between samples as above using formulas in excel??
Hello,
If I understand your task correctly, please try the following formula:
=TEXT((HOUR(VALUE(A3)-VALUE(A2))*3600)+(MINUTE(VALUE(A3)-VALUE(A2))*60),"@")
Hope it will help you.

Hello, Ruwanara,
Please try the following formula:
=TIME(7,48,0)+TIME(0,52,0)
Hope it will help you.
Hi I am working on a project where I would like to know the time duration between to given dates/times - HOWEVER I would like this to be based off of a work day (8 hours). So for example -
A1:3/13/2017 8:47 AM *Creation Date
B1:3/16/2017 7:29 AM *Closing Date
C1:7:00 AM *Time in each day
D1:4:00 PM *Time out each day
I would also like this to exclude weekends if possible.
I need the time difference between A1 and B1 based off of work day.
Any tips would be appreciated
Hello, BRITTANY,
Please try the following formula:
=IF(NETWORKDAYS(A1+1,B1-1)>0,NETWORKDAYS(A1+1,B1-1)*8,0)+HOUR(IF(OR(WEEKDAY(A1)=1,WEEKDAY(A1)=7),0,IF((TIME(HOUR(A1), MINUTE(A1),SECOND(A1))-C1)>=(D1-C1),(D1-C1),(TIME(HOUR(A1), MINUTE(A1),SECOND(A1))-C1))))+HOUR(IF(OR(WEEKDAY(B1)=1,WEEKDAY(B1)=7),0,IF((TIME(HOUR(B1), MINUTE(B1),SECOND(B1))-C1)>=(D1-C1),(D1-C1),(TIME(HOUR(B1), MINUTE(B1),SECOND(B1))-C1)))) & " hours " & MINUTE(IF(OR(WEEKDAY(A1)=1,WEEKDAY(A1)=7),0,IF((TIME(HOUR(A1), MINUTE(A1),SECOND(A1))-C1)>=(D1-C1),(D1-C1),(TIME(HOUR(A1), MINUTE(A1),SECOND(A1))-C1)))) + MINUTE(IF(OR(WEEKDAY(B1)=1,WEEKDAY(B1)=7),0,IF((TIME(HOUR(B1), MINUTE(B1),SECOND(B1))-C1)>=(D1-C1),(D1-C1),(TIME(HOUR(B1), MINUTE(B1),SECOND(B1))-C1)))) & " minutes"
Hope it will help you.

Hi
I'm trying to produce a production schedule for a manufacturing plant how can I add production-time to calculate finish time/date. From this I need to subtract weekends and non production hours ie 10pm-6am.
Example
Start date & Time = 8/10/17 & 06:10
Total production time = 148hrs
End date & time (minus weekends and hours between 10pm-6am) = ?
Hi, Dave,
our tech specialist has come up with the following formulas for you:
1) if A1 contains start date & time, and A2 contains 148hrs, here's a formula to show day/month/year:
=TEXT(IF(VALUE(TIME(HOUR($A$1),MINUTE($A$1),SECOND($A$1)))+VALUE(TIME(HOUR($A$2/(22-6)),0,0))<=VALUE(TIME(22,0,0)),WORKDAY.INTL($A$1,INT($A$2/(22-6)))+(($A$2/(22-6))-INT($A$2/(22-6)))+VALUE(TIME(IF(HOUR($A$1)<6,6,HOUR($A$1)),MINUTE($A$1),SECOND($A$1))),WORKDAY.INTL($A$1,INT($A$2/(22-6))+1)+VALUE(TIME(6,0,0))+(VALUE(TIME(IF(HOUR($A$1)>22,22,HOUR($A$1)),MINUTE($A$1),SECOND($A$1)))-VALUE(TIME(22,0,0))+($A$2/(22-6)-INT($A$2/(22-6))))),"DD/MM/YY hh:mm AM/PM")
2) this one to show month/day/year:
=TEXT(IF(VALUE(TIME(HOUR($A$1),MINUTE($A$1),SECOND($A$1)))+VALUE(TIME(HOUR($A$2/(22-6)),0,0))<=VALUE(TIME(22,0,0)),WORKDAY.INTL($A$1,INT($A$2/(22-6)))+(($A$2/(22-6))-INT($A$2/(22-6)))+VALUE(TIME(IF(HOUR($A$1)<6,6,HOUR($A$1)),MINUTE($A$1),SECOND($A$1))),WORKDAY.INTL($A$1,INT($A$2/(22-6))+1)+VALUE(TIME(6,0,0))+(VALUE(TIME(IF(HOUR($A$1)>22,22,HOUR($A$1)),MINUTE($A$1),SECOND($A$1)))-VALUE(TIME(22,0,0))+($A$2/(22-6)-INT($A$2/(22-6))))),"MM/DD/YY hh:mm AM/PM")
Hope this helps!
how can i calculate Total down time hours

Hi,
Calculate the time duration in different days 9/09/17 18:00 & 09/11/17 11:40.wht is the total time duration b/w the days
how can i get the difference in years,month,days,hours,minute,seconds
for example-
(20-09-1993 19:00:00)- (27-08-2017 14:00:15)
=IF($C7="","",(MOD(D7-C7,1))*24)+IF($E7="","",(MOD(F7-E7,1))*24)+IF($G7="","",(MOD(H7-G7,1))*24)+IF($I7="","",(MOD(J7-I7,1))*24)+IF($K7="","",(MOD(L7-K7,1))*24)+IF($M7="","",(MOD(N7-M7,1))*24)+IF($O7="","",(MOD(P7-O7,1))*24)
I know that I am missing something in this formula. If anyone can spot it let me know. This is in/out times, same day, several jobs, i.e., 1 hr at 1 job, 6 at next job, total for the day is xxx hours.
Need help with how to calculate duration between date with time, less 30 minutes for example:
A1 08/22/17 8:00 am - B1 08/20/17 8:30 am = 2 days
Thanks
Maggie
Hello, Maggie,
Please try out the following formula: =ROUNDUP((A1-B1)*24,0)/24 & " days"
Hope this will help.
Hi Ekaterina,
Thanks for the help but it's not calculated proper. Maybe, I did not explain well, for example:
A1 5/2/16 17:32 - B1 5/3/16 19:59 should return 2 days not 1 day
Regards,
Maggie
I am trying to sum some values which are in word forms (0 Days, 1 Hours, 10 Minutes + 0 Days, 17 Hours, 54 Minutes + 0 Days, 0 Hours, 12 Minutes). Can you help me to sum these values?
Hello, Komal,
you need to create a custom time format that will allow summing the values when they're written as you need. You can read how to create such a format in our article.
Hope it helps.
Hello,
Can you help me create a formula to calculate time between these two?
2017-08-16 18:24:00 2017-08-17 06:40:00
How is it with 24 hour working time? For example:start 23:00 finish 01:30 should equal 150 minutes.
Thanks a lot. its very helpful.
This is the formula that I have in my cells
=TEXT(C11-B11,"h")+TEXT(E11-D11,"h")+TEXT(G11-F11,"h")+TEXT(I11-H11,"h")+TEXT(K11-J11,"h")
I'm trying to calculate start time and end times for my employees. The problem I'm having is that formula ignores the minutes and only shows the hours. How do I show both hour and minute?
Tq very helpful

How can i calculate it.

Need formula to calculate average time of 4 months. which should be calculate per day as 8hr
Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to calculate the time spent working out problems for testing purposes on excel. I find that if I use the NOW() function on the cells I need to display the current time, both cells change at the same time resulting in the exact hours and minutes. I need to find a way to keep the start time intact and then the NOW () function to display when a task was completed. That way the end result gives me an accurate number of the time a prospect employee used to complete the excel test. Is there another function or formula that gives the exact time without entering this manually perhaps by entering a value prior to starting the project? And then entering a value again when completing everything so it automatically calculates the time spent?

Help! I do not know what is wrong with my formulas.
I am doing a time sheet,
all cells are in as time 00:00;
time in & time out= total (=sum(B1-A1))
That all works, but when I want to total the week, (=sum(C1:C7))
the total does not add up, if I enter one day at a time, the first 2 rows add correctly but the third row is subtracting the total from itself. the same happens for the next 3 rows. The end result is 8 hours which is what is entered on row 7.
Thank you for any help you can provide
Hi There,

how to calculate total hours when date and time written in separate columns like.

How do you create an invoicing formula that multiplies an hourly pay rate (£) with total hours, mins?
what formula should i use to get time difference in quarters like 7:00AM - 8:15AM = 1.25 ? IF 15min equal to .25 and 30 mint to .50 ?
If 7:00am is in cell A1 & 8:15am in cell B1 formula should be =sum(b1-a1)*24 hope this helps (don't forget to format the results cells as "number")

I noted in your formulas above the date and time are in the same cell. How do you work these formulas with the dates and times in separate cells? Is it possible or do they have to be in the same cell. I'm trying to calculate the time an individual would be held in restraints. The individual cells have Event Begin Date, Event Begin Time, Event End Date, Event End time. All the cells are in general format since they are exported from a database into Excel. What guidance can you give me.
I am trying to calculate the sum of two time(S).
I tried to add 15:05:30 and
14:02:00 and used the formula =sum(DE19:DE20)resulting into 5:07:30. After using =sum($DE$19:$DE$20), I got the same result. Please help.
Also please tell me if I want to add multiple timestamps each timestamp of the format(day hour:month:second),which formula I should apply?
Your expected results would be 29:07:30. Since one day is 24 hours, the balance you see is 5:07:30. It is a question of formatting the results (Control+1). Try using a "custom" format of [h]:mm:ss.
