How To Make Excel Understand Any Time Zone

Описание: How to stop Excel from giving you the wrong time when converting zones

This Excel video teaches you how to easily convert the time from one time zone to another, using the example of converting San Francisco time to Japan time.

The video introduces a formula that takes the hours in one time zone and converts them into a format that Excel recognizes as time. This involves dividing the hours by 24 to get a decimal value and then adding this to the starting time.

To ensure accurate results, the MOD function is used with a divisor of 1 to extract the decimal value, which represents the time difference between the time zones.

The video also explains that when working with date and time values together (datetimes), you can use a simpler formula for time adjustments without needing MOD, as the date is already considered. The overall aim is to make time zone conversions easy and accurate.
