Converting text format of time/date into Excel time/date for subtr

[YY san.]

Hi,
I need some help on date. I have the date and time in text format.
13/01/2010 10:34 AM

I need a formula to convert them to excel date/time format so that I can do
subtraction between these dates.

Thank you very much,
YY

=DATEVALUE(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1))+TIMEVALUE(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,256))

YY,

You could try and just use

=A3-A2

or, to be clearer in your formula,

=VALUE(A3)-VALUE(A2)

Anathi,

Somethng like

=IF(B2>A2,"Late","On Time")

Where B2 has the actual arrival time, and A2 has the scheduled arrival time.
This will work if you enter times as AM and PM only, without dates.

Hi! Bernie

Im so pleased with help, I also tried to some other tricks
=IF(B3>=E3,"ontime", IF(B3<=E3,"late"))

although if E3 is 0:00 and B3 is 0:00 instead of showing 0:00 it says ontime.

Regards
Anathi

time to words
Hi!

Please help me with the formula and how to converte numeric time into words.

Example: employee knock in at 9:00 am and arrives at 8:45 am (and the answer is ontime) or if s/he came in 9:23 am ( answer is late)

Well, that's what you've asked it to do, so naturally it will return
"ontime" in that situation. If you want it to return 0:00 in that
situation, you need to put that in the formula.
=IF(AND(B3=0,E3=0),0,IF(B3>=E3,"ontime","late")) and format as time to suit.
Note that if you've done a test for B3>=E3 it is pointless to do another
test for B3<=E3, because you wouldn't have got there unless that test was
true.
