got some data, two times and i need the the difference, so far so easy. But the person who entered the times used a general format and not a time format.

Is there away to get Excel to treat these numbers as times and not as decimals.

Example:

Type 10:00 in A1 and format to general

In B1 enter =TIMEVALUE(A1) and format as TIME
