I'm trying to use the data in a pivot table and the information is entered into one cell as dd hh:mm:ss. How would I break this out if I wanted to manipulate the data, would it be with a pivot table or formula? I have two columns next to each other with dd hh:mm:ss format with different times and I want to calculate the time elapsed between them. Anything helps!
 
That means they're text strings, not date/time data type. Try this.

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
That does work. Is Column E able to be formatted into hh:mm:ss?

Yes. Leave column E in days i.e. don't multiply by 24. Ctrl + 1 -> Format cells -> Custom -> [h]:mm:ss
