[libreoffice-users] time and date difference
hello everyone, I am using LibreOffice Version: 4.3.0.4 and I am having issues calculating time differences.. I would like to calculate the time difference in hours between the following date/times: E14 = 23/04/2015 15:30 E15 = 25/04/2015 16:20 E16 = DAYS(E15;E14) But I get a value error so I split data: F14 = 23/04/2015 F15 = 25/04/2015 F16 = DAYS(F15;F14) --- Ok, I get 2, multiply x 24 = 48h and it's fine then for the hours G14 = 15:30 G15 = 16:20 G16 = (G15G14)+G15-G16 (as suggested by the wiki: https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Calculating_Time_Differences) but again I have a value error.. does anyone knows how can I solve this?? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/time-and-date-difference-tp4147099.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

This should work (if your date locale is set appropriately) if these are genuine date values, i.e. numbers formatted as DD/MM/ HH:MM - but not if the cell contents are text values. so I split data: F14 = 23/04/2015 F15 = 25/04/2015 F16 = DAYS(F15;F14) --- Ok, I get 2, multiply x 24 = 48h and it's fine This mean that you *do* now have these values as genuine dates, not text. then for the hours G14 = 15:30 G15 = 16:20 G16 = (G15G14)+G15-G16 (as suggested by the wiki: https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Calculating_Time_Differences) but again I have a value error.. If you really have put a formula including G16 into G16, then you have a circular reference, and you may see Error 522. does anyone knows how can I solve this?? If you use =(G15G14)+G15-G14 it should work (whether you have times or text). It's important to understand the effect of cell formatting in spreadsheets. When you type something into a cell, the value may be converted and the cell formatting may be changed. Such changes may not be immediately evident, but you need to appreciate them if you are to see why formulae work or don't work. There are two facilities that may help: o Unless you have specifically set cell alignment, text values will be left-aligned and numbers (including date/times) will be right-aligned. o Go to View | Value Highlighting (or Ctrl+F8). Text values show in black and numbers (including date/times) in blue. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] time and date difference
Did the work below, but then came up with a simpler option. Converts difference to minutes =(E15-E14)/TIME(0,1,0) Above Answer ANSWER/60 =((E15-E14)/TIME(0,1,0))/60 Above Answer INT(ANSWER/60) gives full hours =INT(((E15-E14)/TIME(0,1,0))/60) Above Answer MOD(ANSWR,60) gives minutes left =MOD(((E15-E14)/TIME(0,1,0)),60) Original way of doing it. E14 = 04/23/15 03:30 PM E15 = 04/25/15 04:20 PM E16 = 48 E17 = 50 E18 = 0 E19 = 50 E20 = 48 E21 = 48.83 Formula in E16 to calc Hours in full days =int(e15-e14)*24 Calculates the number of minuts left E17 = =MOD((E15-E14),1)/TIME(0,1,0) Calculate number of Hours in partial day E18 = =INT(E17/60) Calc Remain Minutes E19 = =MOD(E17,60) Calc Total Hours E20 = =E16+E18 Calc Hours with fraction. E21 = =E20+E19/60 Added 12 hours to test results. 04/23/15 03:30 PM 04/26/15 04:20 AM 48 Full Hours 770 Extra Minutes 12 Hours 50 Minutes 60 Total Hours 60.83 On 24 Apr 2015 at 1:46, sserra wrote: Date sent: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 01:46:12 -0700 (MST) From: sserra simone.se...@cogne.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject:[libreoffice-users] time and date difference hello everyone, I am using LibreOffice Version: 4.3.0.4 and I am having issues calculating time differences..
