Convert Excel Time to Unix in Seconds
People don’t realize how Excel handles time under the hood. Learn how to convert Excel timestamps into Unix time with one formula that works every time.
This Excel video teaches you how to convert dates and times in Excel to Unix time stamps, which are a way to represent time as a running count of seconds since January 1, 1970.
You can achieve this conversion using a simple formula that subtracts the Unix Epoch date (January 1, 1970) from your chosen date and then multiplies the result by 86400, which is the number of seconds in a day.
The video explains that the Unix time stamp is essentially the difference in seconds between a specific date and the Unix Epoch, making it a universal way to measure time.
Additionally, the video provides examples of how Excel represents dates and times as numerical values and fractions, helping you understand how time can be manipulated and formatted in Excel.
