Excel doesn't understand expressions like:

1:38.06

You have to convert it yourself to

98.06

Also your ( & ) are unbalanced.


Curious that this could have stumped 15 viewers.

Curious that you didn't suggest reversing the times component to avoid finishing up with a negative answer?

Try:

=("1:42.45"-"1:38.06")/0.066

You may need to change the cell format.

I don't know what you're trying to do.

Get ~16 times ~4.4 Seconds?

Nor do I understand Wunflova's point.
