I'm using ver 2.0.2 and need to get the difference between two times converted into a decimal, not a time format, ie, I want an hour and a half expressed not as 1:30, but as 1.50. Can't figure this out.

Time is stored internally as a fraction of 1 day. So 24 hours is 1.0
days. This allows Date+TimeOfDay to be stored as a single floating point
value.

So to convert a Time of 1:30 (hr:min) to decimal, multiply by 24 and
format as a decimal value (but not Number/General).

E.g.
If cells A1 and A2 are Time format, and cell A3 is Number/-1234.12
format contains the formula "=(A1-A2)*24", I get:

A1      A2      A3
2:00    0:30    1.50
