A millisecond is a one-thousandth of a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally when you work with Excel, you need Dates and Time\nwith hours and minutes, rarely seconds. Excel doesn\u2019t offer any format that\noffers times shorter than a second unless you create your own custom format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to format a cell that\u2019s going to display a date in milliseconds, right-click the cell and select Format Cells\u2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click the Custom<\/strong> tab and enter the following type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You have two functions that display current time: TODAY<\/a> and NOW<\/a>. TODAY will display a year, month, and day, while NOW will display year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and one-hundredth of a second. So it\u2019s not really a millisecond, but that\u2019s the closest you can get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how it looks like inside a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When we deal with milliseconds, we don\u2019t have to use dates –\nhours, minutes, seconds and the 1\/100th<\/sup> second is more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s change the custom format to h:mm:ss.000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The time difference in milliseconds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can also add or subtract one value from another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at our example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These are the formulas we used in this example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C5<\/strong>: =C3-C2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C6<\/strong>: =HOUR(C5)*3600000+MINUTE(C5)*60000+SECOND(C5)*1000+RIGHT(TEXT(C5,”hh:mm:ss.000″),3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first formula is rather straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the second one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds = 3600,000 milliseconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 minute = 60 seconds = 60,000 milliseconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 second = 1,000 milliseconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each value is multiplied by the number of milliseconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last part takes the whole time and formats it to be sure\nthat the milliseconds are present as 3 digits on the right side. Then the\nformula returns those last digits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, right-click cell C6<\/strong> and format it as a number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
