    Re: Difference between two times

    To get the correct numeric answer, the formula would be:

    =NOW()-(DATEVALUE(MID(A1,5,6)&", "&RIGHT(A1,4))+TIMEVALUE(MID(A1,FIND(":",A1)-3,5)))

    Then format that cell with a custom number format of: d" days, "h" hours, "mm" minutes"

    Re: Difference between two times

    Thanks so much for taking the time .

    The time difference I get is 19 days, 14 hours, 48 minutes, but that is not the correct value when we calculate the difference between Now() and Sat Mar 05 22:32 EST 2011

    thanks

    Re: Difference between two times

    Well, this is far uglier...

    =INT(TODAY()-(DATEVALUE(MID(A1,5,6))))-1 & " days," & TEXT(MOD(NOW()-TIMEVALUE(MID(A1,FIND(":",A1)-3,5)), 1), "h") & " hours, " & TEXT(MOD(NOW()-TIMEVALUE(MID(A1,FIND(":",A1)-3,5)), 1), "m") & " minutes"

    Hello NBVC

    Thanks for your response, I did not see this earlier. Yes the formula works perfectly.


    I had added this post originally in the Excel General Discussions, then I added it to this Excel Programming as I felt this forum would be more appropriate for the nature of my post.

    Thanks once again for your time.
