Comment on Calculating Elapsed Time in Excel by jashin

jashin — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:40:11 +0000

Hai…

I want to record the time in excel sheet. by giving the formula =now(), i can get the time, but i want to get the seconds. I know by formatting the cell i can display the time in seconds. but if i enter the formula in the next cell, whatever time which is recorded in the first cell is also getting changed.

Can anyone help me how to fix this problem. Some of my friends told that it is possible by using VB. Unfortunately i am not good at VB. Can anyone help me.. If anyone knows the solution, please mail me at jashinpepsi@gmail.com

Thanks and Regards

I have tried everything on 3 different computers and can not get it to speak. It goes thru the motions but nothing. I have physical speakers on each computer. When I hit speak, I hear the “microsoft sam” repeat his line but nothing in excel. I do not have the capability to reinstall excel and I am using Vista and XP.

Any other ideas?
Thanks

Comment on Wireframing for (hopefully) Better Websites by artViper

Good article – well, I guess this distinguishes real wizzes from “normal” webdesigners. I cannot state often enough that webdesign is more than clicking together a nice looking page in a wysiwyg editor. The in-depth knowledge need and the skills required to make a up-to-date page are very demanding. So either there’s a whole team behind a web project or a senior designer who knows what he has to deal with, starting from the design layout over the validitiy of the page, JS frameworks, CSS etc. Noone said, being a designer is an easy job

Hey thanks for putting this up. I tested it w/ a work colleague this afternoon and it worked out like a charm. Good to know in the event that you sent something you REALLY wasn’t supposed to. Good stuff! – R

Fred,
You should be able to do that calculation with the simple formula =B1-A1. Then do the second step which requires setting the format for displaying the result. To do that go to the Format Cells dialog box, click the Custom category on the left, and choose the appropriate format from the choices on the right. For your example, the mm:ss format works.
