    Converting time in hh:mm:ss format to decimal format

    Hi guys, so I've got quite a big data set of timed results that I need to convert from being in "hh:mm:ss" format to a decimal format so that it is amenable to stats.

    I've attached an example. In it I've manually entered in the hours, minutes and seconds and then inserted a simple calculation. The problem is that on a large scale this will be too time consuming.

    Any ideas/help?

    Cheers

    Shane

    Hi,

    Can you not custom format the cell as [MM]:SS?

    For calculation purposes you can directly use them if you convert the formatting to "General" or "Number" formats as they will be in decimals anyway.

    Hi

    Use cbattrody on #2 [mm]:ss

    instead B1 Hours C1 Minutes and D1 Seconds can lead you mistake if you doing manual?
    Formula for this?
    B2 =TEXT(MOD(A2,1),"hh ""hours, ""mm ""minutes, ""ss ""seconds. """) copy down
