Excel time
Im trying to convert a set of values from an integer number to Excel time, but cant figure out the conversion.
In Excel I have a value which is stored as '42403.4287037037', which if I use Excel to convert it then it outputs '03/02/2016 10:17:20' which is right, however I need to keep in in the '42403.4287037037' and also convert a date into 'whatever' to get times between times, so I cannot convert the number to date/time in a whole.
I thought it was an EPOCH time, however it has a decimal place in, and if use a convertor such as http://www.epochconverter.
Anyone have any idea what this value is and how to convert to/from it?
