Default Date/Time Formula for Entry level XL user

Help.


I have searched the net and have come up thoroughly confused.

I am entering a date and time (military time) in one cell and need a formula that will subtract 60 Hours from that and give me a new date in a new cell.

Can anyone help. Thanks

Simply input the date & time in the reference cell (say, A1), then use a formula like:
=A1-60/24
in the destination cell.

FWIW, days are integer values. Each hour, therefore, is 1/24 of a day. 1 second is 1/86400 of a day!

Thanks Paul. Worked like a champ! Thread can be closed.
