Re: Subtract two 24 hour times
Thanks all for your reply's. Craig, actually this has to be accurate for calculations going into the next 24 hour day. So going from 10pm (22:00) to 02am (02:00) has to add up to 4 hrs and not 20hrs (or 18hrs depending on how it calculates). Will converting to seconds and using the abs function here...

Re: Converting minutes to tenths
Thanks for the reply's. What I was getting at is if you have 2hours and 44 minutes (2:44) that should convert to 2.7 and not 2.8 as per the table.
I think the round command might work here. I have to try it.
