Excel Formula help - IF statements?

Hi guys, 

 

I want to differentiate these two columns. If the difference in time between "Order Date" and "Printed Date" is less than 24 hours I want the data to say "Stocked". If the difference in time is greater than 24 hours, I want it to say "Not stocked". 

Is there a formula I can build so that I don't have to go through each one individually? 

 

Thanks!

    try:
    =IF((CONVERT(L2,"day","hr")-CONVERT(K2,"day","hr"))>24,"Not stocked","Stocked")
    hope this helps..

      the above should do it.

      sorry, the first post is only computing hours - not including the days ...

      the cell where the formula will be put must be formatted to "General" NOT TIME..

        I computed the difference in hours between 2 dates..
        since 24 hrs = 1 day - your formula is also correct...

        and much shorter. NEAT!
        thanks..
