My problem is in excel sheet How to add or subtract a cell with a format dd/mm/yyyy hh;mm AM to another cell with the same format dd/mm/yyyy hh;mm AM

I guess you want the difference of those two dates in days for example (subtracting two dates).
You can achieve that with the datedif function:
=datedif(start; end; "d")
Adding is not possible and it doesn't make sense actually. What would be the outcome if you add two dates together?

Indeed, adding full dates makes little sense. Adding times (without dates) might be useful, for which formats with square brackets, such as
[HH]:MM:SS], might be useful.– ArjanCommented Jan 7, 2017 at 12:17 -

@MohamedAdelAbdelazeez just add the two cells together, if that does not work then your date is a text string that looks like a date. If that is the case you will need to parse the string to create a true date/time value. Commented Jan 7, 2017 at 15:49
