Calculating Difference In Time Using Excel
Mar 7, 2013
I manage a team in a call centre and deal with lots of reports on excel.
I am dealing with a report on a daily basis that i need to use in order to calculate the total idle time that each of agents have. There are roughly 170 agents.
After I have formatted the cells to hh:mm:ss, the obvious thing to do would be : =(B1-A1)
Is there a way to write a macro (or anything) in order to reapply this to the report on a daily basis? Bearing in mind that this has to be done daily for 170 individual reports. They work a 8am - 5pm shift. So there is an entry every time they make a call.
Agent Name
Extension
Initiateddate
TerminatedDate

I'm calculating the difference in time:
9:54-9:45 = 0:09
Now to convert this in minutes (in number format), I multiply this number with 1440:
0:09*1440 = 9
When I click the cell this number is actually 9.0000005, rather than exact 9. I need it to be exact 9 since I have to match this number from other excel sheet.
To sum up:
This is what I expect:
31.99999 should be changed to 32
10.000001 should be changed to 10.

I've got a spreadsheet of samples taken at certain time intervals for a period of 2.5 hours, they were collected in hh:mm:ss format. Most of them are approximately 5 minutes apart. What I'd like to do is convert the first time to 00:00:00 and then recalculate each sample from there. Is there an easy way to do this?
So, what looks like this right now:
8:45:00
8:45:36
8:50:36
8:55:36
9:00:36
Would look like this:
00:00:00
00:00:36
00:05:36
00:10:36
00:15:36
etc...

I'm trying to calculate the available man hours I have for my shift/team. I have got the basic formula to deduct the time, and lost time for breaks ok, but when the shift end time crosses midnight the formula returns a "value" error message. i.e. start time = 18:00. End time = 24:00 breaks = 15 mins gives me a formula like this =TEXT(O17-N17-P17,"h:mm") and a result of 5:45
How I can make this formula work so it can calculate the variance even though the shift ends at 02:00am the following morning?

I am conducting some analysis on alarm data of certain devices and am looking for creating a VBA algorithm that will do the following (refer to the table below for example data)
I want identify an asset in alarm (Column F) and based on its asset ID (Column C) and Fault Description (Column D) then find the row when the asset with the same asset ID and fault description returns to an 'ok' Asset State. After the row where the same asset ID and Fault description is found where the asset state returns to 'ok', I want to calculate the total alarm time based on the difference between when the asset ID and Fault description goes from 'Alarm' State to 'OK' state from DateandTime Column.
I want the result to be populated in a new worksheet that displays data with the following column headings as a result of the above calculations: Date, Asset ID, Asset Description, Fault Description, Alarm Time
I have added an additional column to show the type of output I am after.
There are up to 20,000 rows of data I want to perform the above calculation on.

I am using the following formula in Column E to calculate the difference between an employees start time, and their previous shift end time in order to work out how many hours rest they have had:
=IF(A4=0,"",IF(I4=0,"",MOD(I4-B4,1)))
My Current Formula works fine for same day calculations, but if an employee finishes work at 18:00 on Friday and starts work at 22:00 Saturday night, Excel calculates the Total Rest hours as 04:00, when in fact they have had 28:00 hours rest...
Is there a way of calculating the hours difference between two dates?
I have attached a sample of my spreadsheet to illustrate

Instead of calculating a time difference manually I want to have a formula do it for me. What I want to achieve goes as followed:
08/06/2006 04:33
12/06/2006 01:05
Time difference is 92:32 [hh:mm]
another example:
09/06/2006 12:42
12/06/2006 11:35
Time difference is 70:53 [hh:mm]
So instead of getting 92:32 and 70:53 by calculating it myself I would like to have a formula do it for me. Otherwise I'll have to invest a lot of time to get the information I need.

Please find attached a daily copy of a spreadsheet that is used to monitor train running times.
The columns on the left - "Serv No, Serv Start Date,Train No:, Scheduled Arrival, Scheduled Depart" are provided to us automatically and the underlying cell formatting/formula cannot be changed. This information is cut directly from a daily report sent to us the previous day. The cell formatting for the start date is custom - dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm.
The sheet is usually locked out with user access only to the left hand side to cut and paste train times in and the input columns on the right hand side. User has no requirement to adjust any details in the left had column apart from to add additional trains at the bottom is need be. I have left the loaded sheet blank and complete with all underlying cell formatting, conditional formatting and formulas intact for you to play with.
Both sheets essentially do the same thing so whatever formula changes are made to the empty sheet can be adapted for the loaded sheet.
For simplicity, I will focus on the empty sheet. What I am mucking around with is having the user input the train arrival time in the "Actual Arrival" column - (column F)
What I am looking at then making occur is the spreadsheet automatically filling the adjacent columns with the appropriate text and calculations.
To do this excel needs to compare column the number (cell input is text formatted) as a number with the arrival time in column G. It then needs to calculate if the train is Early (16 minutes or more before scheduled arrival), on time (+/- 15 minutes either side of scheduled arrival) or late (16 minutes or more after scheduled). It then needs to automatically place the letter "E", "O" or "L" in column K and the time differential in column L.
My problem is two fold.
Firstly, I cannot seem to make the spreadsheet automatically enter a letter into column K depending on the above conditions.
Secondly, I have had limited success in having the spreadsheet compare column J with column F and working out the differential. However, this only works if the time remains linear. IE only if the train runs on time or late. It gives an incorrect time differential if the train is early. I will attach this spreadsheet tomorrow as an add on to this post.

In our sql server table, we have a field of type DATETIME. This field is populated by a vendor product with the elapsed time of an event.
We created a SQL Server view of this column and other columns of info joined together from several tables.
Then we create in Excel 2010 a new spreadsheet with a data connection to the SQL Server, instance, and view that we created.
Excel 2010 displays each of the columns in our view.
The elapsed time column appears as "dd hh:mm:ss". However, when we click on a cell to look at its formatting, Excel lists it as general.
We want to calculate the average time in this column.
We go down below the data, click on a cell, and insert =Average(C2:C17215) and we get an error saying dividing by zero.
We have 17,000+ rows of data, so there is no divide by zero math going on here. Each row in this column has data, so there are no blank cells.
We have spent some time web searching. We then tried various methods of calculating this. Nothing has worked. In most cases, we get the divide by zero. We tried some solutions that mention using an array forumula, but that just changed the error to an invalid value error.

Is there a formula to calculate the difference between two letters?
For example, I have levels A-Z. Column A contains level at the start of the year (A-Z). Column B contains level at the end of the year (A-Z). I would like to find the difference (e.g. level A to level D would be a change of 3).

I am trying to calculate the difference between a scheduled start time and an actual start time. If the actual start time is greater than the scheduled start time a negative time (hh:mm:ss) should be returned. instead the cell is populated with #############....
I have tried to reformat using the custom formats, but the only options in excel 97 are for either standard numerics or £ (these return a minus figure).
I've had a look at the time functions but could not see a suitable one.
I'm sure there is a simple format solution to this.

Formula "(Cell-Cell)/ABS(Cell)"
When calculating percentage difference do I always subtract the smaller number/cell from the larger number/cell, then divide by the smaller number/cell or vice versa? Maybe I am over thinking it, but it is confusing the heck out of me
I provided an example below to illustrate a spreadsheet I work on. The numbers go up and down. I want to know how I should go about setting up the formula. If I need to ensure the smaller number is always subtracted from the bigger number, it will require a lot of manual intervention on my part.
Row 3 is =(b2-b1)/ABS(b1)Row 4 is =(b2-b1)/ABS(b2)Row 5 is custom. I went through each cell and made sure the smaller number was being subtracted from the larger number, then divided by the smaller number

I have the following on a spreadsheet that keeps track of when student work is handed in and calculates how many days late it is so a penalty mark can be given.
A1= User entered value : a fixed submission date that a piece of work is due to be handed in on.
A2 = User entered value : The date entered if work is handed in on time or early
A3 = User entered value : The date the work was handed in if late
A4 = User entered value : The date the piece of work is due to be handed in if an extension has been granted
A5 = Calculated value : How many days late a piece of work is
Essentially I want the calculation in A5 to reflect how many days late a piece of work is. SUM(A3-A1) would do this of course. If the work is early or on time, A2 is ignored.
Sometimes however students have permission to hand work in late, in which case another calculation is needed to work out how many (if any) days over their extension date (A4) their work is. How do I combine these two calculations into the same cell, so that if A3 is empty it checks A4 to see if the student has an extension date and then returns a 'days late' value if applicable?

I need to calculate the difference between a start time and end time in hours and minutes.
Start
01/07/2008 11:40
End
01/08/2008 19:28
Start and End columns are formatted as 'Custom' m/d/yyyy h:mm.
I'm not sure what formula to write to calculate the hours and minutes between the two times. Everything I've tried doesn't count over 24 hours. Also what do I format the result cell as?

It will be easier to explain in an example:
A B
Time (hh:mm:ss) Digital
1 10:03:00 0
2 10:03:01 0
3 10:03:02 1
4 10:03:03 1
5 10:03:04 1
6 10:03:05 0
[code]....
From the data above I am searching for the duration of when the digital column says '1', i.e my function = A5-A3 which would output 2 secs or 00:00:03 & likewise A9-A8.
The problem I have is that the digital signal is staggered and does not always have the same frequency. I have over 6848 lines of time to check so to do this manually would take me all day.

Cell A1 contains 02/29/2012
Cell B1 contains 12/01/2006
I am looking for a formula that will return the number of months (periods) between two dates, ignoring days and years. Using the above dates, which cannot be changed, the result needs to be 63. The formulas I have tried keep returning 64 because my later date is at the end of a period, and my earlier date is at the beginning.

This may be a bit vague but here goes.
I have to calculate the difference between the start time and end time of a job. The only catch is, how can I avoid calculating "out of hours" time. So, if a job goes from 9am to 9am the next day, I want it to avoid calculating between the hours of 23:30 and 03:30.
Another example is if a job goes from 02:00 to 04:00, I want it to avoid the tim between 02:00 and 03:00.
If there is a difference in days, so the job goes overnight, how do I take that into consideration also.

I've got a time difference from 8:00AM - 12:30PM as 4.30 I'm trying to get the minutes, .30, converted into a 6 minute increment, .5. Is it possible to do this and if so how would it be done? Below is a chart of how the time is converted from 6 minutes increments into decimal form.
6 = 0.1 36 = 0.6
12 = 0.2 42 = 0.7
18 = 0.3 48 = 0.8
24 = 0.4 54 = 0.9
30 = 0.5 60 = 1.0

i want the input box to read " DRIVER DISPATCHED 30 MINUTES LATE PLEASE ENTER REASON"
but it returns "DRIVER DISPATCHED -.11233543 E2 MINUTES LATE"
how do i format this to show the difrence in minutes
TL = Range("N" & Line) - Range("M" & Line)

I know the title is a bit vague, but I cant think how else to word it!
I have a sheet (attached) which works out hours worked, and if the amount is under a specified target, it counts how much time is owed. The problem occurs when someone works more hours than the specified target.
I guess I need an IF formula of some kind, to say if the figure is over the target, to put zero in the hours owed column.

I'm trying to calcuate the time difference using military time.
For example:
A1 has 0400 A2 has 0430 A3 SHOULD be :30
B1 has 1500 B2 has 1715 B3 SHOULD be 2:15
Unfortunately I either keep getting all zero's, or the correct answer but without the ":" in the answer (b3 would look like 215)

Formula query
Column “A” list of dates correspondence in
Column “B” list of dates correspondence reply out
Need to calculate how many times the difference between date in and reply date is <= 5 in a specific time period.
The start date is entered in say, “K1”
The end date is entered in say, “L1”
Also calculate difference in dates between 14 days and 21 days for time period
Also with reply in column “B” not sent until over 28 days. I have tried SUMPRODUCT with (date_in=K1)*(date_out<=L1) for the dates but unsure how to define <=5

I work at a call center and I get the data as Date, Time of calling and Duration of the call. Now since this is an overseas call center, even though the calls spills over 12midnight, the corresponding date shows as the date when the agent logged in.
So I get the data in this format, Date: 06/11/2012, Time: 19:00:00 - 04:00:00.
How do I calculate the time difference at one go without first getting the time difference from the time of login till midnight and then add that to the time difference of midnight till time of logout. I have attached a file for your review.
