Hi
Newish to Excel, so apologies if this a really stupid post.
Doing an annual leave calculator which gives as one its results th
decimal figure of, for example, 33.5 days, i.e. thirty three and a hal
days.
How can I convert this to read 33 days and 12 hours? Have tried al
sorts to no avail.
Many thanks
Clif

One way which might suffice ..

Assuming the results (33.5, etc) are in A2 down

Put in B2:
=IF(A2=0,"",IF(A2=INT(A2),INT(A2)&" days",INT(A2)&" days and
"&(A2-INT(A2))*24&" hours"))

Copy down

Maybe try this slightly revised formula instead:

Put in B2:
=IF(A2=0,"",IF(A2=INT(A2),INT(A2)&" days",INT(A2)&" days and
"&TEXT((A2-INT(A2))*24,"00")&" hours"))

Hi Cliff

One way, with days in A1

=INT(A1)&" days "&MOD((A1*24),24)&" hours"
