zaxxon Take a look at the attached workbook. The result column is for your presentation purpose of hh:mm:ss so please note that it is not recommended to use that column for any calculation. Instead use column E if you need further calculation.
Your Start and End cells contain only DD but not information about month, year so I assume same month, same year and just calculate the time difference. If this assumption is not correct, the formula will need to be revised.
