I have a column with date and time for start (IN) and end (OUT) and I want to calculate the difference in days.
Date: IN Time: IN Date: OUT Time: OUT
24/07/2018 12:15:00 26/07/2018 06:11:00
I combine them into date time IN and OUT by using:
E1=TEXT(A2,"dd/mm/yy ")&TEXT(B2,"hh:mm:ss")
F1=TEXT(C2,"dd/mm/yy ")&TEXT(D2,"hh:mm:ss")
But I am unable to find any working code for the difference in number of hours.
TEXT will convert your dates and times into text (strangely enough).
Adding the date and time will return a date/time value so you could use:=SUM(C2:D2)-SUM(A2:B2) to return 1.74722222
(edit: if you then give the cell a custom number format of d:h:mm it will display 1:17:56 or 1 day, 17 hours, 56 minutes).
(EDIT AGAIN: Sorry, only just seen you want it in hours. Give the cell a custom number format of [hh]:mm. The square brackets tells it to count over 24 hours. This will return 41:56).
or
=DATEDIF(SUM(A2:B2),SUM(C2:D2),"d") to return 2.
or if you just want days from the dates you could just use=C2-A2 to return 2.
Dates and times in Excel are just numbers - no need to complicate things by turning them to text.
