    Formula for minute subtraction

    What is the formula for taking two times, and finding the minutes between them. E.g. 12:35 PM-12:28 PM=7. I know i can use (A1-A2)*1440, but is there an easier way? Thanks.

    I'd say that's a pretty compact and easy way of doing it ...

    You could also use just

    =A1-A2

    and custom format result cell as [m]

    but be aware, if you do that, that the result will look the same.....but the underlying cell value is different (it's still a time value not an integer representing the number of minutes)

    Maybe this...

    =A1-A2

    Format as [m]
