    Formula to Calculate Current Time Elapsed

    I am trying to use a formula to determine the current time elapsed. I have a date time in cell A3 and I attempted using the formula =now()-A3 and keep getting the #VALUE error. How can I determine the total time elapsed from the date/time I have input in A3 to the current date/time?

    Hello kschmit1,

    What you tried will work if A3 contains a valid date/time value - if you get #VALUE! error then A3 must be uncoercable text.

    What result do you get with =ISNUMBER(A3)?

    What value can you see in A3 exactly?

    I get a result of False

    I have A3 formatted as 9/13/17 8:00AM using the Date Format, I have the cell I am trying to input this formula currently formatted the same, not sure if that is the iss but when it was formatted as general it did not work either.
