If the time difference is greater than 30 minutes, display TRUE; if not, FALSE is displayed as the following screenshot shown. How could you check the time difference if it greater than a specific time in Excel?

The following formulas may help you to check the time difference to see if it is greater than a specified time as you need. Please do as this:

Enter any one of the following formulas into a blank cell where you want to locate the result:

=IF(B2 > A2 + TIME(0,30,0),TRUE,FALSE)

=MROUND(B2 - A2, 1/86400) >= "0:30:00" * 1

And then drag the fill handle down to the cells that you want to apply this formula, if the two time difference is greater than 30 minutes, a TRUE is displayed, if not, a FALSE is displayed, see screenshot:

Notes:

1. A2 and B2 is the start time and end time cells.

2. 0, 30, 0 indicate the time difference of hour, minute and second that you want to check based on, you can modify them to your need.
