I have four cells, two are dates, and two are times. I need to get a difference of these two date+time pairs in "hh:mm" format.
For instance, Cell D1 = 11/09/2018, E1= 11/10/2018, F1 = 7:00 PM, G1 = 7:15 AM. I need to basically get the difference of 11/09/2018 7:00 PM from 11/10/2018 7:15 AM and display it as "12:15". I have the following so far but I can't get the minutes to display in minutes
=((TEXT(D2,"mm/dd/yyyy")&" "&TEXT(F2,"hh:mm"))-(TEXT(C2,"mm/dd/yyyy")&" "&TEXT(E2,"hh:mm"))) * 24
It shows up as "12:25". is there a better way of doing this in Excel?

No need to make text before subtracting.
=(E2+G2)-(D2+F2)
Then format the output as [hh]:mm

The only down side with this solution is, if the total of hours go over 24, it resets it back to zero plus whatever mins/hrs after that. So 24:15 becomes 00:15.
