how excel deals with numbers/times?
Specifically, I have some times similar to below
8:56.47 (8 mins 56 seconds 47 milliseconds)
4:32.12 (4 mins 32 seconds 12 milliseconds)
I want to compare times, work out differences, and graph progress.
Yet is seems that excel is storing them in date formats, despite me specifically setting it as mm:ss.0 custom format.
I am attempting to calculate % utilization. I have number of minutes used formatted in [mm]:ss and number of minutes available formatted as a number. When I divide available by minutes used I get a percentage that is off.
So I have Available 33600 minutes available 4901:20 minutes used.
I am given two seperate times and need to calculate the variance, which I have. However the variance comes out as a number and I need to present this in time format.
The format of the original data (in column A and B) is dd/mm/yyy h:mm:ss
I know I can *60*60 my variance answer (column G) to get seconds (column H) and then divide this answer by 60 to get this to mins and seconds (column I) but this just looks too messy.
Need a point in the right direction with this one! I want to calculate the difference between two time values, the problem is there two different formats as below:-
1) 520.00 - this is a number format
2) 500:00:00 - this is a time format HHH MM SS
What could I use to show I have a 20.00 hour difference???
I've been trying to create a work schedule and I am having trouble formatting it just the way that I want it. Basically, I am looking to put in the time with an AM or PM after it.
The problem that I am having is that if the time is on the hour I want it to display as 4 PM and if it is not on the hour, then I want it to display as 4:30 PM. I don't want 4:00 PM with the 2 extra zeros. Is there any way to do this with conditional formatting or some type of formula? I just don't want to have to change the number format every time I have to enter a time that is not on the hour.
I've attached a small sample of an excel file I created from a CSV. The date has defaulted to American format and the time is, as you can see, messy. How can I reformat so that I can have British date format and 24 hour clock?

For instance, currently when I select Number the default is -4000.00. I want to PERMANENTLY change its default to (4,000.00). How do I do this?
I am looking for a macros VBA where a user insert or update a data the date and time should be insert in column I and save the workbook.
Note: If the column I already have the date and time inserted before then it should give message record already have date and time.

I am trying to figure a way to search for a cell that has a specific date and time range. There are several cell titles pending on the activity. I want to find a cell that has a time ** 7:30-15:30 , 15:31-17:30, 17:31-20:30. The end result is to calculate the activity between those time periods based on the data cells.
Example
If the date searched time field ** the activity ranges is 1635 I need to split the time and credit the activity time in the 730-1530 time and the rest on the 15:31-17:30 time
I have been able to do it on a single labor group based on time alone, but when I try to add the DATE to it my numbers go null. Eventually i will need to add 11 labor groups daily for weeks at a time .

A client buys 500 minutes of my time. In one week I spend 340 minutes on the account. I'd like a column to show Time purchased (say 500 Minutes) Time spent and a final section showing time left (but showing negative values in red)
I hope I've explained this ok but here is an illustration of what I'm trying to achieve in Excel 2011.

I have a time column (A) that when looked in the cell only shows AM & PM times, but the cell itself (not showing) contains dates too, keeping me from be able to do a sheet wide sort of time or time frame occurrences.
Can I do some thing to sort these cells with their corresponding rows based on time only disregarding dates?
I am trying sort out all rows that in column (A) is time equal to or greater than 4:00 PM OR even maybe sort all rows that column (A) shows a time between 4:00 PM & 7:00 PM. The date in the cell is the problem, I think. Excel 2013
I'm working on converting some databases. One has entries with normal human readable time format, the other uses the unix epoch time format.
Is there a function or vba code that I can use in excel to convert the normal time format to epoch time?
I've got a thousand or so entries, so it would be nice to find a way to do this on a large scale.
I am using Excel 2013. Anyway, the first issue is that I need to pull a date and a time period from text. So, for example, if I see something like Sunday Prime Time 7/6/14 8:37PM, I would want to pull ONLY the "7/6/14 8:37PM" out of it. Each text box could potentially be different, so it might not always be in the same format as "Sunday Prime Time 7/6/14 8:37PM" it might only show just the date and/or the time without all the extra text i.e. 7/6/14 8:37PM. Some of the cells will have text, others might only have just the time or even just the date and the time. The only thing that I am worrying about in each cell is extracting just the date and time. If this is too much to ask of excel, I would be ok with extracting ONLY the time - 8:37PM and not the date, but I would much rather be able to get both the time and date.
THEN, onto part two of my question. After I would pull the dates and times, I need to compare them with each other. So, when I have the same date with two separate times on that date, I need to write a formula to show if those times on that date are less than 30 minutes apart. So, if I have 6 times on 7/6/14, I need to know if any of them are less than 30 minutes apart.
I would need to have the formula say something like "Problem" if the times on 7/6/14 would be 5:30PM, 5:48PM, 7:00PM, 8:00PM, 8:15PM, and 9:00Pm for example. I would like to see the word "Problem" since 5:30PM and 5:48Pm is only 18 minutes apart, and "Problem" after 8:15PM since that is only 15 minutes past the 8:00PM which is obviously under 30 minutes. The times that are more than 30 minutes apart such as 7:00PM and 9:00PM for example are more than 30 minutes apart from any of the other times that were extracted.
I want a macro to take the current time and if it is less than 09:00am, I want it to set a variable to be the current time on the previous day.
Basically, an operational day runs from 09:00am to 08:59am the following day.
08:45am on Saturday 13 July (for example) should be recorded as 08:45am on Friday 12 July.
I currently use a manual time clock for my employees to punch in and out. I then use Excel to tally their times. This is very tedious and error prone.
Is it possible to use Excel as the timeclock itself? I know that the employee can enter the time in a spreadsheet manually. But this also opens the door for error and potential dishonesty.
What I am looking for is, if the employee can punch in and out by doing a keystroke and Excel uses the computer's clock to timestamp.
I get data in the form of an .xls worksheet that includes a date column and an "hour" column. The hour column contains 1-2 digits representing the hour of the day (0-23). I need to be able to combine the date and time fields for graphing, searching, and sorting the data. No matter what I try, I can't get excel to recognize the hour as the time of day (e.g. 2 = 2:00am, 16 = 4:00PM, etc). The data sets tend to be large and I get new data in the form of new .xls files often, so a script to convert the data is probably not a good solution.

How can I convert the :00 values to 0:00? Its literally just like I need to add a 0 zero in front of the colon ":". This is the case with anything imported that is less than 1:00 minute. I have :55 that should be 0:55 and so on. I have tried re-formatting for different time values, tried various formulas that were listed in the forums.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAttached a workbook of what I see. On column A and B there are dates with time on a "m/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" format.
Until a while ago excel 2010 would recognize the dates and I was able to find the time difference between the 2 just by typing =B1-A1 (column C)
I think due to a Microsoft update (?) I cannot do it anymore and excel will not recognize the info?

I Excel formula to convert time to seconds. For example:
12:05:00 AM Expected asnwer= 300.
I would like to develop code that does the following:
- I first manually move to a cell
- Press a key combination (CTRL+T for example)
- Press the same key combination, the elapsed time from the first press to the last press is entered into that cell in seconds.
It would be nice if the cell showed the time incrementing live, but that is not required.
I have a excel workbook about 200kb in size. I have about 8 tables and a macro in it. Sometimes when i open it the default format changes to time format and i get values like this 00:00:00.
I have recorded a macro that will do the re-formatting for me.
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.

I have to analyze our abandoned calls for the year. So far there are close to 2000 abandoned calls and I need analyze them according to the month and the time they were received.
I have two worksheets in my workbook the first worksheet is named DROPPED, this is were all the data is. The second worksheet is called DROPPED CALLS SUMMARY, this is where all the analysis happens.
On the DROPPED CALLS SUMMARY Worksheet I need to have the Sum of Column I IF ColumnA is equal to Jan-13(or whatever month) and Column B is equal to 8:00 AM (or whatever time). I'm using Excel 2003 so I cannot use the SUMIFS Formula and I can't find a formula to work with.

I need to get my system's time (in hh:mm format) in an excel cell and this should get updated as and when sytem time gets updated.
This error occcurs when i add some worksheets to a workbook from another
one. I am not completely sure (cos this is not my work actually) but it
seems to me that there is not really too much (about 4000?) "different" cell
formats in the workbook, but there is a quite lot amount of drawing objects
(grouped technical drwaings plus autocad objects which i also converted them
to bitmaps to overcome the error).
I also dont understand the restriction:
If i have 3999 cells formatted "bold" and another 2 formatted "underlined"
this should not count 4001. True?
My workbook has about 15 worksheets with each fits to 2 printing pages.
I have a spreadsheet with a number of columns. In column D there are the following options: 2,3,4,C,T. I want to color the cell if there is data in the cell and column D contains a value.
So for cell L17, my conditional format I have =AND(D17=2,L17<>"") - - (RED), =AND(D17=3,L17<>"") - - (YELLOW), =AND(D17=4,L17<>"") - - (GREEN).
I need to color for values of C and T: but there are only 3 conditional formats permitted. Is there any way around this?
I'm running excel 2000 and don't have access to mscal.ocx, so i have used the date time picker with a calendar, but the formatting of the calendar is in US format m/d/yy and I need it in UK format d/m/yy, I have narrowed it down the following piece of code, the D values are the days,
