Dear All,

I have a query in Excel which are as follows:-

I work for Logistic department in Dubai and often we visit Website to
see time of each country we deal with, but recently an idea flashed my
mind that this could be done in excel.

I want to create 3 columns, first with current UAE time, second column
with Country time and third column with difference in time. These 3
columns should be constantly updated automatically, Check this out
pls.

Thanking you in anticipation,


Regards,

Ashu.
 
Sorry, question is how do i create the above mentioned columns which
should update each column as per the system time.

Trust the msg is clear
 
Hi

I dont know how to constantly update the formula....ofcourse Tushar
Mehta would...

try this

In cell A1 write this formula : =NOW()
In cell b1 write this formula : =A1+"05:00:00"

Here +"05:00:00" assums that country time is 5 hrs ahead of ur system
time, for countries that are behind ur system time use - sign.

In cell C1 write this formula : =
=TEXT(IF(B1-A1>0,B1-A1,A1-B1),"hh:mm:ss")


Format cell A1 and B1 as time > hh:mm:ss
and C1 as General

press F9 to update the times.

Regards
Asim
 
I wouldn't waste the resources to have it update continually. But I would hit
F9 whenever I wanted to see an accurate time.
 
Put =NOW() in one cell, say, A1. In another cell, enter the time
difference of interest to you. For example, say in A2, type in 4:00.
In a third cell, enter =A1+A2.
