In Excel, I can subtract one time value from another and with the result convert it into a decimal.
I can manage the first part of this process, but I cannot convert my hour and minutes value into a decimal value. How do you do that in Numbers?
Thank you.
select cell D2, then type, or copy and paste from here, then formula:
=DUR2MINUTES(C2−B2)
Here is what came up with:
I assume the question relates to payroll or something like that…
two cells contain time, say A1 contains shift START time and A2 contains shift end time…
=A2-A1 will produce time worked in h:m say in A3
DUR2MINUTES(A3)÷60
will produce decimal number of time worked
If ending date-time is in C2 and beginning date-time in B2, then:
=DUR2MINUTES(C2-B2)
Gives you the number of minutes in decimal form.

Any of these will do it:
DUR2HOURS
DUR2MINUTES
DUR2SECONDS
etc.
Thank you, Badunit. How do I link the time value (in minutes, if you like) to the formula?
Dear Lemon,
I think this thread is stalled because we don't know what you mean by "How do I link the time value (in minutes, if you like) to the formula?".
Could you expand on that?

Convert time values to decimal value.
