Another Time Related Question

[cmiedaner]

I have 2 times:

A) 4:12:31 PM
B) 4:07:45 PM

In a cell I have the formula (TimeB - TimeA). The cell displays a strange number as a result - 23:55:14. I was hoping it would display the actual time difference (negative or positive).

Is that possible ?

Thanks in advance.

Format the result cell as:
hh:mm:ss
If you anticipate a negative result, you should use the 1904 Date syste

Thanks All. I tried what was suggested but still get this result:

A) 11:21:49
B) 11:21:14

B - A = 23:59:25

Any thoughts ?

With the 1904 Date system switched on I get:

-0:00:3

1904 date system is turned on for a workbook under
options-advanced-When calculating this workbook.

I had to search for it so I thought I would save other people th
trouble ;

This looks correct for what you are asking. Thinking in pure mat
terms, you are subtracting a large number from a smaller one which wil
always return a negative number. To get the difference between the tw
times, you need to subtract the start time (4:07:45) from the end tim
(4:12:31)
