We have a spreadsheet with columns for time started and time finished. The
data shows up as hh:mm. A third column is the difference between these first
two, showing total hours and minutes spent on the task. How can I show the
data in the third column as hours to two decimal places?
 
Try this:

=(B1-A1)*24

and format the cell as Number with 2dp. Copy down as necessary.

Hope this helps.
