I'm trying to find the difference two cells within a row to another row.
I'm using time values i.e 17:07 and 14:53 and in the third cell I'd like to get a result that shows me a plus/minus of the differences.
I know by looking what math to apply to that particular cell. Is there a way to do a formula to get the results no matter if they are plus or minus. without having to change the formula back and for on if i know it'll be increasing or decreasing?
Hi and welcome to the forum
would something like this work for you?
A1=17:00
A2=15:00
A3=IF(A2>A1,A1-A2,A1-A2).....=2:00
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

Eventually try File - Options - Advanced - Under " when calculating for this workbook" check " Use 1904 date system"
This works perfect untill I get to a time that increases then it will not calculate it, this is the same thing I ran into earlier
Actually if I take the formula that FDibbins gave me and pair it with what Pepe gave me, it works perfect!
Thanks so much!
What if the times were in seconds? It does not seem to carry over if I apply the formula to seconds
A1=17:00
A2=15:00
A3=IF(A2>A1,A1-A2,A1-A2).....=2:00
That should work with second or no second, it is a simple math calc. Time is just a decimal of 1 (day), 6:00 am = 0.25, 12 midday = 0.5 etc, so all seconds do is add to the decimals
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, it's only certian cells that it's giving me "#VALUE!"
i.e 1:49 and :26
nevermind, I found the issues. Needed to add a zero i.e 0:26
thanks again! you rock
