    Re: how convert time in decimals to time format

    Hello friend,

    How about:
    A2 is the number
    Divide each number by 24
    =A2/24
    Format your result cells as custom "[hh]:mm".

    Cheers,
    Vlady
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,

    Re: how convert time in decimals to time format

    Dear friends

    The start time and ending time taken for travelling from an origin to destination available with me,is entered in different columns in excel.During the data entry process itself,the time is entered in decimals.for eg 5.30 is entered for 5:30.In order to get the time taken for travel I require the difference between the start time and end time of trip .For this purpose I require my time entered in Excel as 4:30,5:15,2:30,16:40 etc instead of 4.3,5.15,16.4 etc.Since the data is too much,I require the help from excel

    regards

    Re: how convert time in decimals to time format

    Given:
    Column A = start time formatted as text
    Column C = end time formatted as text

    formula in column B (formartted as time):

    this will replace the period/decimal with a colon and, if the period/decimal is the second to the last character, then it will add a "0" such that 5.3 in A2 will result in 5:30 to be operated on by the TIMEVALUE function. Thus, in column D:

    Then your duration will be D2-B2
