    Creating a formula where i can input a number of unit x time it takes per unit

    I want to work out how long it takes a number of work items to take, for example if it takes 40 minutes to create 1 laptop build, I would like to input the number of laptop builds into a cell and it auto populates another cell with the answer.

    For example, if I entered 2 into the input cell I would like an answer cell to show 1:10.

    If anyone can advise how to do this I'd be really grateful.

    Thanks

    Re: Creating a formula where i can input a number of unit x time it takes per unit

    A1 = input: no. of units

    A2 = input: time per unit

    A3 = A1 * A2
    //total amount of time to fabricate


    Like that...?

    Yes like that but ideally I'd like the time per unit cell A2 not to be seen. So I input the no. of units into A1 and it goes off and calculates the time per unit to give the answer into A3.

    Thank you

    If you know the time per unit, let's say 40 minutes

    in A3
    =A1* "0:40"
    Format A3 as custom [h]:mm
    Do you know how to do that?
