Hello from Steved
What formula will convert 4.50 to 530 minutes ( "Decimal Time" )
another example 16.50 to 1250 minutes.
Thankyou.
Hello from Steved
What formula will convert 4.50 to 530 minutes ( "Decimal Time" )
another example 16.50 to 1250 minutes.
Thankyou.
The short answer is multiply by 60. But your numbers are all
wrong. Assuming that 16.50 is 16 and 1/2 hours, the correct
number of minutes is 990, not 1250. Similarly 4.50 is 270
minutes, not 530. Am I missing something?

Hello Chip from Steved
I ran a payroll which was designed about 40 years ago so in my exercise
16.50 is the same as 4:50 pm. I am in the process off converting the payroll
to minutes.

OK, but 16.50 still doesn't = 1250 minutes.
16*60+50 = 1010

ps
ok if I have 4.50 in A1 and P in A2
P is afternoon
Is it possible for the formula to look at P in A2 and add 720 so the answer
is 1010 please.
Thankyou

Try this:
=IF(A1="",0,INT(A1+(A2="P")*12)*60+MOD(A1,1)*100)

1.00 P is giving me 60 What is required please to add 12 hours and make it 780

I get 780. ???
However, I did run across a potential bug when dealing with 12 AM and 12 PM.
How would you enter 12:30 AM? And, am I to understand that if cell A2 does
not contain "P" then it assumed the time in A1 is AM?

Hello from Steved
Sorry a type error on my part 1.00 P is as you corrrectly pointed out 780.
I treat 12.00 A as 0 ( The Beginning off the day ) and 12.00 P as 720 ( The
Middle off the day ), I notice in your formula 12.00 P is 1440 and 12.00 A
720, you are so close is there away using your formula to make change so that
12.00 A reconizes it as 0 and 12.00 P as 720. Thanks so far for what you have
done.

Steve, first thing, this is not a very good way to keep track of time. It's
just full of potential bugs.
Try this:
=IF(A1="",0,IF(A1<1,A1*100,IF(A1>=12,INT(A1)*60+MOD(A1,1)*100,INT(A1+(A2="P")*12)*60+MOD(A1,1)*100)))
Things that I'm assuming since you didn't provide a thorough explanation of
what you want or what you're trying to do:
12:00 AM is entered as 0.00
12:01 AM to 12:59 AM is entered as a decimal value - 0.30 is 12:30 AM
1:00 AM to 11:59 AM is entered as a decimal value *AND* cell A2 is *EMPTY*:
A1 = 2.50
A2 = empty
So, A1 = 2:50 AM
12:00 PM to 11:59 PM is entered as a decimal value *AND* cell A2 *CONTAINS*
"P":
A1 = 10.20
A2 = P
So, A1 = 10:20 PM
The above formula will return a result in the range 0 to 1439. There are
1440 minutes in a day so 11:59 PM = 1439. After 11:59 PM the time rolls over
to 12:00 AM which starts a new day and thus has the value of 0.
I highly recommend that you NOT use this method of timekeeping.

Hello Biff
Biff all I am doing is converting the time to minutes for a new payroll for
about 850 people. What we are doing isistead off the normal 8:00 am Start and
4:30 pm finishes we will use 480 and 990. I am using your formula to convert,
which I say thankyou for your time. Yes I've taken on board what you have
written, but I am very pleased as to what you have done for me, and from this
point I can finish this project.
Thankyou.
