    Change to minutes

    Hi

    Is there an easy way to change dd:hh:mm in to just minutes?
    Without working out Day()*24 + Hour()*60 etc

    Re: Change to minutes

    =MINUTE(A1) would work. But if you don't want to add a column and you don't need to do any calculations with the cell then you can right click the cells, click format cells, select custom from the list and type in m or mm (whichever is more suitable).

    The cell will still contain the time but it will just display the minute value.

    FYI there is a custom format [mm] that changes to minutes. Of course if it's date and time you'll have the number of minutes since Jan 1st 1900...

    =MINUTE(A1) for a time of 1 day, 9hrs, 37 minutes, 10 seconds gives the answer 37

    dd:hh:mm was short for days, Hours minutes

    I have several people picking daily, i can calculate how many hrs they pick each day, I can calculate how many hours they pick per week, however this often adds up to more than 1 day in time + hours + min
    Im trying to see if there is an easy way to calculate total minutes

    Re: Change to minutes

    custom format [mm] gives total minutes

    also
    [hh]:mm will allow you to sum to greater than 24 hours
    Hope that helps
