Converting minutes to seconds

[youngxxi]

Hey, I hope someone can help me ....

I have a column with time in minutes and seconds (eg 1.20) but need that converting in another column into seconds (eg 80).

Please please please can anyone help me????

Is it 1.20 or 1:20?

If the former

=DOLLARDE(A1,60)*60

note: DOLLARDE function requires Analysis ToolPak to be enabled

if the latter then how is the cell formatted? if h:mm then

=A1*1440 format as general

If m:ss

=A1*86400 format as general

When I am entering the time in as 1:20 and format the cell to m:ss it is changing the value to 20:00, any ideas why???

You need to enter as 0:1:20
