Calculate time difference in excel

Question

I have a two dates in excel \"1/2/2016 01:56:05\" and \"8/3/2016 06:21:46\". How do I calculate the time difference between them in a format of days and hours?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try this to include the spelled out hours and minutes:

=INT(A2-A1) & " days, " & TEXT(A2-A1,"h "" hours, ""m "" minutes""")

Note that since the m comes immediately (ignoring the separator text in quotes) after the h it will be interpreted as minutes and not months
