Returns the fraction of a 24-hour day the time represents. Learn more
TIMEVALUE is a function in Microsoft Excel that converts a time string (such as "10:30 AM") into a decimal value that represents the time as a fraction of a 24-hour day. The returned value is a serial number that can be formatted as a time using Excel's built-in time formats.
For example, if you enter "=TIMEVALUE("10:30 AM")" in a cell, Excel will return the value "0.4375", which represents 10:30 AM as a fraction of a 24-hour day. This value can then be formatted as a time using Excel's time formats to display the time in a more human-readable way (e.g. "10:30 AM").
