    Converting time hh:mm:ss into decimal format? mm.ss

    Hi,

    I need help in making this formula work.

    I'm trying to convert a time format into a decimal looking format. The data pool is very large so changing them manually is very time consuming.


    Im trying to chage this time format using this formula

    turning 00:30:05 into 30.05

    the formula works perfectly until I encounter the hours

    01:30:02 turns to 30.02. I would like it to look like 90.02 (60mins+30mins.02 secs)

    Thanks shg!

    I think your formula worked better! I found an error with the one i marked as solved.

    Question though, where did you get the 1440 value from? i mean what is the relationship of *1440 to time?

    1440 is the number of minutes in a day.
