Convert Hours & Minutes in Excel to decimals for billable hours by Chris Menard

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Time in Excel is tricky when you try to covert time to decimals. Example: 2:00 is two hours and zero minutes. Multiple 2:00 by $20 and you get 1.67 as a decimal. Two hours x 20 should be $40 billable amount. The trick is to multiply the hours and minutes by 24.
There are 24 hours in a day. Midnight in Excel is 0. 12 Noon or 12 PM in Excel is 0.5

Thank you Chris you are a Quantum Excel Physicist! It has been surprisingly difficult to find a solution to what I thought has a relatively simple problem on the the web!
Glad to help
Hey Chris, thanks for the demo. I find your explanation very valuable. I used the idea to calculate my self-study hours. I changed the rate to 1, so the hours converted to decimals. Once decimals were available, I was able to create a cumulative column plus a chart. It serves for me for crafting a look back on the hours that I dedicate to study in relation to my grades. Once again, thanks!
Thank you. Glad to help.
Thanks for explaining how to calculate the hours in Excel. I have been trying for some time get this right, using the variouse suggestions relating to formating and the use of [brackets]. All to no avail. As soon as converted into a decimal.....problem solved! Thank you!
Thanks for this video! I have to keep coming back to it because I keep forgetting! :)
Isn't that one of the reasons we have videos on YT? :-)
Your videos are simple and straight to the point🙏🙏
Thanks Chris ... the x24 was what was escaping me ... used in Google Sheets! Thanks for a good simple computation!
A lot of thank you... Many are skipping this step
Thank you.
Very well explained, thank you! I saw a few videos before this and you nailed it with the explanation and process!
Glad it was helpful!

So how do you go back the opposite direction? Taking a decimal format of minutes (5.7) and convert it to MM:SS (05:42)??
Blog post and video I did on this topic.

I can’t thank you enough Chris, you save my time and thank you very much.
Could you tell me how to covert total hours to decimals in Microsoft Excel... for example, Column A = 1:00PM, Column B = 3:15PM... how can I have Column C (TOTAL HOURS) read "2.25"
all times at my job are in 15 minute increments
1:15PM to 2:00PM would be .75
5:30PM to to 7:00PM would be 1.5
any help is much appreciated !!!
Hey Chris. I need conversion for say 8.17 that runs in a report to convert to 8.28 for minutes to decimal hours. Help
HI! sorry, i just found this video, and it helps me a lot. One problem, what if the time is from 11.30pm until 12.30am ? how we calculate the "1-hour" charge... tq sir
you need to write an if statement for that. Here is a screenshot. drive.google.com/file/d/1B-LrQ8LR4Y1Jo_I0X6tj72Rhu5w2nafb/view?usp=drivesdk
Thank you very much for explaining this! I needed it.

TOTAL HOURS WORKED 27:54
Converted to Decimals for Payroll 3.90
My formula works great for all but when I convert them to decimals I do not get the correct hours if someone has worked over 24 hours. Here is my formula:
=IF((HOUR(D26)+MINUTE(D26)/60)=0,"",(HOUR(D26)+MINUTE(D26)/60))
The answer should be 27.9 noy 3.9
Thank you
How to calculate minutes/hours from second in excel
What format is your start and end time as the calculation not working when i convert to time format?
Thank you. Help me a lot
Happy to help
Much appreciated ! Thank you for your time!
Thanks a lot for the video instruction!
You are welcome!
Thank you for the vid. It is SO CLOSE to what I am looking for. I am looking to convert my time to the number of that time - for example 00:17:50 (hh/mm/ss) would be 1750, Is there a way to do this?
you can use hour, minute, and second function with the Value function. Make sure your format is General. See image here drive.google.com/file/d/1KTctDAMm7ee33dz2HnV-U9liPSGmvULs/view?usp=drivesdk
@@ChrisMenardTraining O M F G. Thank you does not describe the appreciation I have but it is all Ive got. THANK YOU.
@@ChrisMenardTraining so, so close. using your suggestion only, 0:30:00 shows as 300 not 3000. =VALUE(HOUR(cell reference)&MINUTE(cell reference)&SECOND(cell reference))
How do we do that if the hours is > 24 hrs e.g billable hours for the entire month is 186:33 which is in [hh]:mm formart??
This was very useful, doesn’t work when time goes negative, 10pm to 6 am etc, any tips??
Use an IF statement. My video is in the middle of my blog page. chrismenardtraining.com/post/calculate-difference-time-microsoft-excel Look for time going across midnight.
thank you, very useful and keep it
TY

Nice video sir
Thanks
This is great. And helpful, but is there a video about converting overnight hours and then having all of the hours convert to dollars.
I have 20 tabs(each tab is a work order job) which is used for hourly tracking. Which all formulate to a master invoice sheet giving grand totals. Once they add overnight hours it goes haywire on the master sheet and the numbers just don’t add up.
Looking for help
Hey Chris trying to do hours worked from (pm to am) AND (am to pm) because of multiple shifts with clock in/out input in am/pm with results in military time. Time clocked in and out are separated by midnight and calculated on separate days ( Example shift clock in Mon 10:55pm, clock out 2:00am Tues. Clock shows 1 hr 5 mins on Mon and 2 hrs on Tues but in military time. Also including surge rates combining 2 different days(Mon and Fri) with both am and pm times, on top of the rest of the week at normal hourly rate. Need to have final weekly calculations in both am/pm and military. Please help
Thank you!! :)
You're welcome!
Its helpful thanks 👍

how to add decimal to rate
subscribed 😊😊😊
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
You are welcome.
you are explaining the calculations excel uses. to 99.9% of the population, this makes no sense. To the .1%, this answer is a life saver. Thank you. to make this more simple, you could have used a rate of 1, but i am solid on 8th grade math, so I understand.
laugh your a$$ of and harass as you see fit.. That shall be my new tag line.
E2 goes to 11 :-P
Summary: multiply by 24, then put in decimals. Done.
Worst
Thank you so much 🙏
You're welcome 😊
