Somehow if you have date in format hh:mm dd/mm/yy and you try to subtract you may not get accurate results in such a case use the following formula. Suppose your start time and date is in cell A1 and end time and date in cell B1 in C1 type =B1+ (A1>B1) - A1
Since on subtracting dates Excel doesn't like negative values an error "####" is generated but on use of this formula this problem won't occur.
