How to add & subtract time in Excel to show over 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds
The article shows a few tips to calculate and display times that are greater than 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds.
When subtracting or adding time in Excel, you may sometimes want to display the results as the total number of hours, minutes or seconds. The task is a lot easier than it may sound, and you will know the solution in a moment.
How to display time over 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds
To show a time interval of more than 24 hours, 60 minutes, or 60 seconds, apply a custom time format where a corresponding time unit code is enclosed in square brackets, like [h], [m], or [s]. The detailed steps follow below:
- Select the cell(s) you want to format.
- Right click the selected cells and then click Format Cells, or press Ctrl + 1. This will open the Format Cells dialog box.
- On the Number tab, under Category, select Custom, and type one of the following time formats in the Type box:
- Over 24 hours: [h]:mm:ss or [h]:mm
- Over 60 minutes: [m]:ss
- Over 60 seconds: [s]
The following screenshot shows the "over 24 hours" custom time format in action:
Below are a few other custom formats that can be used to display time intervals exceeding the length of the standard time units.
| Description | Format code |
| Total hours | [h] |
| Hours & minutes | [h]:mm |
| Hours, minutes, seconds | [h]:mm:ss |
| Total minutes | [m] |
| Minutes & seconds | [m]:ss |
| Total seconds | [s] |
Applied to our sample data (Total time 50:40 in the screenshot above), these custom time formats will produce the following results:
| A | B | C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Description | Displayed time | Format |
| 2 | Hours | 50 | [h] |
| 3 | Hours & minutes | 50:40 | [h]:mm |
| 4 | Hours, minutes, seconds | 50:40:30 | [h]:mm:ss |
| 5 | Minutes | 3040 | [m] |
| 6 | Minutes & seconds | 3040:30 | [m]:ss |
| 7 | Seconds | 182430 | [s] |
To make the displayed times more meaningful to your users, you can supplement the time unites with the corresponding words, for example:
| A | B | C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Description | Displayed time | Format |
| 2 | Hours & minutes | 50 hours and 40 minutes | [h] "hours and" mm "minutes" |
| 3 | Hours, minutes, seconds | 50 h. 40 m. 30 s. | [h] "h." mm "m." ss "s." |
| 4 | Minutes | 3040 minutes | [m] "minutes" |
| 5 | Minutes & seconds | 3040 minutes and 30 seconds | [m] "minutes and" ss "seconds" |
| 6 | Seconds | 182430 seconds | [s] "seconds" |
Now that you know the general technique to display times greater than 24 hours in Excel, let me show you a couple more formulas suited for specific situations.
Calculate time difference in hours, minutes, or seconds
To calculate the difference between two times in a specific time unit, use one of the following formulas.
Time difference in hours
To calculate hours between the start time and end time as a decimal number, use this formula:
To get the number of complete hours, utilize the INT function to round the decimal down to the nearest integer:
=INT((B2-A2) * 24)
Time difference in minutes
To calculate minutes between two times, subtract the start time from the end time, and then multiply the difference by 1440, which is the number of minutes in one day (24 hours*60 minutes).
Time difference in seconds
To get the number of seconds between two times, multiply the time difference by 86400, which is the number of seconds in one day (24 hours*60 minutes*60 seconds).
Assuming the start time in A3 and end time in B3, the formulas go as follows:
Hours as a decimal number: =(B3-A3)*24
Complete hours: =INT((B3-A3)*24)
Minutes: =(B3-A3)*1440
Seconds: =(B3-A3)*86400
The following screenshot shows the results:
- For correct results, the formula cells should be formatted as General.
- If the end time is greater than the start time, the time difference is displayed as a negative number, like in row 5 in the screenshot above.
How to add / subtract more than 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds
To add a desired time interval to a given time, divide the number of hours, minutes, or seconds you want to add by the number of the corresponding unit in a day (24 hours, 1440 minutes, or 86400 seconds), and then add the quotient to the start time.
Add over 24 hours:
Add over 60 minutes:
Add over 60 seconds:
Where N is the number of hours, minutes, or seconds you want to add.
Here're a few real-life formula examples:
To add 45 hours to the start time in cell A2:
=A2+(45/24)
To add 100 minutes to the start time in A2:
=A2+(100/1440)
To add 200 seconds to the start time in A2:
=A2+(200/86400)
Or, you can input the times to add in separate cells and reference those cells in your formulas like shown in the screenshot below:
To subtract times in Excel, use similar formulas but with the minus sign instead of plus:
Subtract over 24 hours:
Subtract over 60 minutes:
Subtract over 60 seconds:
The following screenshot shows the results:
- If a calculated time displays as a decimal number, apply a custom date/time format to the formula cells.
- If after applying custom formatting a cell displays #####, most likely the cell is not wide enough to display the date time value. To fix this, expand the column width either by double-clicking or dragging the right boundary of the column.
This is how you can display, add and subtract lengthy time intervals in Excel. I thank you for reading and hope to see you on our blog next week!

Thanks, Larry! Corrected.
It worked!
Thanks, Svetlana.
Hi Svetlana, This is very useful and very informative. I have some doubt if have time 12:30 and i apply formula as A2+(2/25) then it decreases the time by 5 Minutes and gives 14:25 time and if apply A2+(2/23) then it increases the time by 5 Minutes and gives 14:35. Could please give me clarity on this how does it calculate?
Thanks, Svetlana again!!
Hi Rohan,
I don't know the reasoning behind your calculations, but the results are correct. As you probably know, in internal Excel system, times are stored as decimal fractions, e.g. 00:00:00 is stored as 0.0 and 23:59:59 is stored as 0.99999. So, in terms of times, 2/25 (0.08) is 1:55, when added to 12:30, it gives you 14:25.
For more information, please see Excel time format.
Thanks Svetlana

Hi, I need to take a monthly decimal total number of hours worked (i.e. 160.833333) and display as "X hours and Y minutes" which should be 160 hours and 50 minutes, where 49.998 minutes is rounded to the nearest whole minute. I am tearing my hair out.

I need to subtract for ex,
10:10 hours from 24 hours,
what formula should i need to use,
Warm regards,

suppose I need to add another 30mins to 17.40 hrs. The answer should be 18.10 hrs. Can help me to create a fomula
I am compiling a running total of generator running time. I have start and end times in Columns B & C, with format: mm/dd/yy hh:mm. I subtract C from B with formula:
=INT($C4-$B4)&" : "&HOUR(MOD($C4-$B4,1))&" : "&MINUTE(MOD($C4-$B4,1))
Results go into Col. D with results formatted as dd: hh: mm. So far so good, but then I add the individual running times to get cumulative running times in Col. E, and even this works until I get to where the hours exceed 24. They don't add to the days. Example:
2: 23: 43 (d: hh: mm) plus 30 minutes displays as 2: 24: 13 but it should be 3: 0: 13. What do I do to get the correct display?
Thanks,
Craig
Say my start time is 18:00 hours today and my end time will be 12:00 hours next day. Then how to I calculate the total hours duration (hh:mm format) and also how to get it in decimal format for other calculations (may be y*24).
Many thanks for your kind help.
I got my answer i.e. 24+(24*(endtime-starttime) = no. of hours difference. I hope I am right in this.
Thanks

Thank you. I figured out how to sum times in Excel, and I've almost figured out how to merge them into a Word document. I say "almost" because Word doesn't seem to be able to handle summed times greater than 24 hours (I'm summing total hours worked).
I've tried every "switch" I can think of, and once the hours:minutes (32:12) goes beyond 24 hours, it will not longer display properly. Is it possible to merge such information to Word and have them display as they display in Excel? (I've not tried using a DDE link because it seems that Microsoft is moving away from this so I didn't want to get attached to something that will be phased out).
This isn't working for me. When the total hits 24 hours it starts over; adding time that totals 28:30 shows a total of 4:30.
I am certain both the cells I am adding and the cell I am putting the total in are formatted as custom h:mm.
I am using Excel on an Office 365 subscription; Excel for Mac, version 15.32.
Do you have any further guidance?
Hi Josh,
To get an "over 24 hours" custom format, you should enclose the hour code in square brackets. So, the total cell should be formatted [h]:mm
Hi Svetlana, can you give an exemple please? thanks

Hi,
I have this two time duration in text format(HH:MM:SS). I am trying to add both and find the total time duration of the activity. However the values are not reflecting correctly. It is showing as 0:00 only.

Hi,
I am trying to get the difference of the total breaks that my agent is taking. Can anyone tell me here the exact formula in google sheets for this pleaseee 60 minutes minus 00:55:00+00:15:23+00:24:56.
Hi Romel,
if I get it correctly, I believe you can enter these values to your cells (for example, 00:60:00 to A1; 00:55:00 to A2; and so on), apply Duration format to them, and create a simple formula like this: =(A2+A3+A4)-A1
Then set Duration format to the resulting cell as well and you'll see a difference of 00:35:19.
Im really confused because this all seems like it should be easy but I just dont get the correct result.
Example: Start time is 08:40 (A1)
Current time is 10:45 (B1)
Time difference 02:05 (C1)
in D1 I have =C1*1440 but the result is 62,860,445
and I know thats not how many minutes are between 8:40 and 10:45
My Current time cell uses =NOW(), could that be the issue?
Many thanks
Hi,
I am trying to get a series of value for a column with datetime datatype showing seconds over 60 seconds. For Instance, take the example as "23-06-2019 14:30:59". When I am trying to use the custom format as "dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:[s]" then it is giving error and throwing some decimal number for "23-06-2019 14:30:60" or "23-06-2019 14:30:61". Can anyone please help me out to get the correct logic for the same

Hi, i need help please. I have data that auto loads daily at 5pm. The process is broken into 2 parts (ETL1 and ETL2). ETL1 starts at 5pm till 11pm and ETL2 starts at 11 till 4 am. at 7 am i run a script to check if everything ran. each row has a start and end date time. i would like to flag all data after 5pm yesterday as todays data. Currently when i filter on today, i only see the rows where the date is after 00:00
Hi, I had a similar problem working with time. For 24 hours Excel stores this as 1 day, 0 hours. My solution was to convert everything to seconds and work from there. If you have formatted as days, multiply by 86400 (seconds in a day), if you have formatted as hours, multiply by 3600 (seconds) in an hour, etc.
I have a question, If I have 01:40am and i want to minus 20:55:00pm what is the correct formula I need in order for it to see I have gone into the next day? I have tried and it will give me a -19... I need it to see that it is a 24hr period
this is a time related query.
when i do 23:59 - 23:30, i get an answer as 29 minutes formula=(b1-a1)*1440
when i do 00:15 - 23:59, i get a negative with same formula, this is the problem.
solution required = how do i get the number of minutes? which should be 16 minutes.
Look forward to getting a solution, thanking everyone for their inputs!

When I use custom format to represent times greater than 24 hours, the [h]:mm:ss displays 575:00:00.
Why the addition of 551 hours to the total?
Because the [h]:mm actually requires that you convert the total hours to DAYS.fraction. So take (calculated hours)/24. to display with [h]:mm format
I am trying to show my kid when he improves in his swimming times. It is all good when he improves. Formula works great. But, if he did not improve the formula does not work. For example: last month it took him 00:36.55 (milliseconds) to swim 50 yards. This month it took him 00:35.70. So, he improved 00:00.85.
But, if the numbers are opposite and he did worse the formula will not give me the negative number I am looking for. 00:35.70 - 00:36.85 = -00:00.85

Is there a way to show a negative number in time when deducting?
Hi I am trying to create a time sheet that displays elasped time between start time and end time. I have times that cross over 24 hours, where the end time is smaller than the start time. I have been using =mod(end time - start time,1). However this does not work when subtracting a smaller end time from a start time on another date. Is there one formula that I could use for all types of subtraction of time that would also capture the smaller end time - larger start time crossing over 24 hours?
I have 4 machines, which run for few hours in a shift,I note down the number of hours of breakdown/ idle time (In hours) for each machine individually. At the end i want to calculate run time of "all the machines combined" by subtracting the " SUM of idle times of all machines" from 32 hours.

Setting up a time card, I have 9 columns, 3 sets of IN time and OUT time. I can get columns to add up using a 24 hour format when it's a low vs a high hour such as IN:0600 / OUT:1600 for a total of 10 hours. However, what I can't figure out is how to formulate In:2000 / OUT:0600 for a total of 10 hours as the amount of time worked was 10 hours.
I know out how to get it to auto sum hours worked when I format the cell (mm/dd/yyyy h:mm) but that over populates the time card and makes it a lot harder to read. Is there a way to auto calculate the total hours worked using (h:mm) and auto sum the 3 column sets into a single total hours worked regardless of what day and time they clocked in?
My crews work 24 hour rotating shifts logging between 8 to 14 hours at a time. They also check out between the start and end of the shift and have to clock back in.
For Example; IN-19:00 (Begin Shift) OUT-24:00 (30 Min Meal) / IN-00-30 OUT-0330 (30 Min Rest) / IN-0400 OUT-0600 (Time to go Home) Total time worked: 10 Hours
I want to set up a time card they can just put in the time they clock in and the time they clock out to simplify their lives. It'll also help keep from displaying unnecessary data for our finance clerk and speed the processing of payroll up.
Hello Rick!
If the end time is longer than the start time, then you need to add 1 day to their difference
=IF(A1 > A2,A2-A1+1,A2-A1)
If you need the number of hours to be more than 24, use the custom format [h]:mm:ss.

I hope my advice will help you solve your task.
I am looking to identify the total minutes for the following that has been split into days, hours, minutes, seconds: in the format of 01:04:56:05
01 - in theory 24 hours
04 - 4 hours
56 - minutes
05 - seconds
I should be able to see: 1736 minutes
Hello!
To convert hours into minutes, you must first multiply the specified time by 60 (the number of minutes in one hour), then by 24 (the number of hours in one day). In other words, we need to multiply time by 1440.
I believe the following formula will help you solve your task:
=TIMEVALUE(MID(A1,4,20))*1440+60*24*(--LEFT(A1,2))
Hope this is what you need.
Good evening sir,
I have downloaded a file from online and the time is in the format of 000:56:30, 0101:34:66, 132:43:00, 000:34:32, 0345:56:34, 0056:12:35 and so on in this format. While selecting the columns the task bar is showing count of numbers only but not sum of the time and the average. I have used TEXT(Value,"[H]:MM:SS") and after that used TIMEVALUE of that function and it is showing as #Value. I have tried using TIME(HOUR,MINUTES,SECOND) it is showing as #value. Please solve the above problem. I will post u file to Email also if you provide email. Pls solve it.
Thank you.

IF(ISERROR(TEXT(A1/86400,CHOOSE(MATCH(A1,{60,3600,86400},1),"[m] ""min""","[h] ""hrs"" m ""min""", "d ""days ""h ""hrs"" m ""min"""))), 0, TEXT(A1/86400,CHOOSE(MATCH(A1,{60,3600,86400},1),"[m] ""min""","[h] ""hrs"" m ""min""", "d ""days ""h ""hrs"" m ""min""")))
Hello!
To convert seconds to days, hours, minutes and seconds, use these formulas:
days (in G3)
=INT(E2/(60*60*24))
hours (in H3)
=INT(E2/(60*60))-G3*24
minutes (in I3)
=INT(E2/60)-G3*24*60-H3*60
seconds (in J3)
=--RIGHT(E2,2)
I hope it’ll be helpful.
I was able to come up with this formula however now I cannot find my duplicate. I think I've been looking at this for too long. Any suggestions??
I'm coming up with: 2 months 18 daysG 18daysJ 22 hrs 18 min

Thank you
Did come up with this formula but now get a preceding 0 in days when I have 685984 seconds. I would like to eliminate the 0.
Result: 07 days 22 hrs 33 min

Good evening sir,
I have downloaded a file from online and the time is in the format of 000:56:30, 0101:34:66, 132:43:00, 000:34:32, 0345:56:34, 0056:12:35 and so on in this format. While selecting the columns the task bar is showing count of numbers only but not sum of the time and the average. I have used TEXT(Value,"[H]:MM:SS") and after that used TIMEVALUE of that function and it is showing as #Value. I have tried using TIME(HOUR,MINUTES,SECOND) it is showing as #value. Please solve the above problem. I will post u file to Email also if you provide email. Pls solve it.Sir,
I want to get total sum and sorting of these column in ascending or descending order sir.
Hi,
To convert the text 0345: 56: 34 to time, convert the text to a number. For example, if this text is written in cell A1, use the formula
=--A1 you have given this reply sir.
Sir I have used the formula it is giving the result #Value. Please provide your email I'd so that I can send file to you sir. Or please send me an email so as to send the file to you sir.
Hi,
Read this comment.
I have a spread sheet one cell has employee’s dispatch time (military time) example 23:59 (11:59 pm) the next cell has employee’s arrival time example 00:20 (12:20 am).
Dispatch on one day, arrives a few minutes later (21 minutes) the following day.
I have figured out the rest of the spread sheet with your help, however these two cells, as soon as I calculated them I get the death formula symbol of ####### any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your valuable time. Pat
Hi,
The answer to your question is already on the blog. Read here.
Sir
For time comparison in a column the time format is in [H]:MM:SS and for to get results using IF function for greater than 24 hours as beyond time and less than 24 hours what formulae is to be used. Please reply sir.
Hello!
I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. Could you please describe it in more detail? What result do you want to get? Give an example of the source data and the expected result.
Ex if we have times in columns like 34:34:43, 46:57:54, 12:32:56, 44:56:32, 08:45:46 and they are in time format. I want to get result using IF function as for greater than 24 hours to come as "Beyond time" and less than 24 hours as "Within time". Please text the formula and reply sir
Hi!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=IF(A1>1,"Beyond time","In time")
Hi,
How do I subtract 30 minutes from 00:00 (12 midnight) using excel formula?
Hello!
The formula below will do the trick for you:
=IF(A1
