Suppose I have 2 timestamp dates:

  1. 2/24/2010 1:05:15 AM
  2. 2/25/2010 4:05:17 AM

Can anyone please advise what function should I use in Excel to get the difference in hours and minutes?

Thanks.

The difference in hours:

=(A2-A1)*24

The difference in minutes:

=(A2-A1)*24*60

The difference in hours and minutes:

=TRUNC((A2-A1)*24)      - the hours portion
=MOD((A2-A1)*24*60,60)  - the minutes portion
