The result of the example is 01:40 or 1 hour and 40 minutes.</paragraph> 47cdf0e10cSrcweir<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3145271" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="57">In the formula, an entire 24-hour day has a value of 1 and one hour has a value of 1/24. The logical value in parentheses is 0 or 1, corresponding to 0 or 24 hours. The result returned by the formula is automatically issued in time format due to the sequence of the operands.</paragraph> 48cdf0e10cSrcweir<section id="relatedtopics"> 49cdf0e10cSrcweir<embed href="text/scalc/guide/calc_date.xhp#calc_date"/> 50cdf0e10cSrcweir</section> 51cdf0e10cSrcweir</body> 52cdf0e10cSrcweir</helpdocument> 53
