    Date/Timestamp difference in HH:MM

    Good day,

    I'm trying to calculate the difference between two date/timestamps in HH:MM, and am having no luck. Perhaps it's my utter lack of even basic mathematical abilities or not understanding the code samples I've found on various sites, but everything I do is just inaccurate.

    For example
    Start Date = 3/10/2014 8:30 AM
    End Date = 3/12/2014 9:45 AM
    Should result in 49:15

    Sometimes the dates will be on the same day, sometimes not.
    The start date could be in the last day or two of December, so the year matters, too.

    Thank you for any help.

    Sometimes its best to start at the beginning and learn VBA & Excel.

    Please dont ask me to do your work for you, I learnt from Reading books, Recording, F1 and Google and like having all of this knowledge in my head for the next time i wish to do it, or wish to tweak it.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Sorry, i'd put 9:15. Your formula will be end date-start date with a custom format of [hh]:mm
