Decimal days

Hi
Newish to Excel, so apologies if this a really stupid post.
Doing an annual leave calculator which gives as one its results the decimal figure of, for example, 33.5 days, i.e. thirty three and a half days.
How can I convert this to read 33 days and 12 hours? Have tried all sorts to no avail.
Many thanks
Cliff

One way which might suffice ..

Assuming the results (33.5, etc) are in A2 down

Put in B2:
=IF(A2=0,"",IF(A2=INT(A2),INT(A2)&" days",INT(A2)&" days and
"&(A2-INT(A2))*24&" hours"))

Copy down

Maybe try this slightly revised formula instead:

Put in B2:
=IF(A2=0,"",IF(A2=INT(A2),INT(A2)&" days",INT(A2)&" days and
"&TEXT((A2-INT(A2))*24,"00")&" hours"))

Hi Cliff

One way, with days in A1

=INT(A1)&" days "&MOD((A1*24),24)&" hours"

Hello all
Many, many thanks; now got it working. No wonder my brain cell was having problems working this one out.
No more staff claiming extra minutes of undeserved leave! Hah! that'll teach 'em.
Really grateful, although staff are preparing scaffold for me.
Cliff
