Calculate number of hours between two dates - Formulas In Excel - Microsoft Excel Tutorials



28.  Calculate number of hours between two dates

Excel has a problem calculating the difference between two dates in hours. Try this by opening a new worksheet and typing the starting date including time (3/20/2006 13:42) in cell A2. In cell B2, type the end date and time (3/24/2006 7:42). Then subtract B2 from A2 in cell C2. The calculation generates 1/3/1900 18:00, which is incorrect. If your result displays #####, you’ll need to extend the width of column C.

To properly format the difference in hours:

1. Select cell C2.
2. From the Format menu, select Cells and choose the Number tab.
3. Select Custom from Category.
4. Type the custom format [hh]:mm.
5. Click OK. This gives the correct answer.
