I have a start time and an End Time in Excel:
Start Time
9:15 PM
End Time 9:30 PM
Time Spent 0:15
I’m looking to round up to the next 15 minute increment, and are using the formula:
=ROUNDUP(A1*96,0)/96
However, this rounds up the example data above from 0:15 to 0:30 (It should stay at 0:15 because it’s a quarter hour already)
How to I avoid the rounding if the time difference is ALREADY on a quarter hour?
You could use
=HOUR(A1)/24+CEILING(MINUTE(A1),15)/(24*60)which converts a time in A1 of
– 9:15 PM to 9:15 PM
– 9:16 PM to 9:30 PM
etc
