Hi
=now()-1 is going to subtract todays date by 1 but same time. How can I subtract the time as well, lets say 2hr minus? is that possible? Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Sort by date Sort by votes
If what you are really looking for is yesterday's date without a time component, then use TODAY() instead of now, i.e.
=TODAY()-1

=NOW()-(1+2/24)

Try
Code: 
=NOW()-1.083333

Time in excel is part of a 24 hour day so 2/24=.08333333

Thank you all for the help. I got it. I thought I need another operation for the time. It does make sense now. Thank you.
