    Need to separate date/time from a single cell and create a date/time chart

    Hello all

    I use excel for basic calculations and am not an advanced user hence the question. Im trying to figure out how I can separate the date and time from the column and then create a date - time chart. I'm trying to figure out which times have the most traffic.

    Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

    Attached worksheet. time and date.xlsx

    excel stores the date & time as a number with decimals. the date is the whole number and the time is stored in the decimal part. To obtain the date only use the =trunc() formula to obtain the time just substract the original value from the truncated value

    In one cell use = INT(A1) for date and =MOD(A1,1) for time - Format as needed

    Thanks for the replies. I'm missing something or doing something wrong. I used "= INT(A1) for date and =MOD(A1,1)" 20-06-2014 07-13-51.png

    In your image date and time are gone! You just need to format the cells correctly say dd-mm-yyyy for date and hh:mm:ss for time
