    Converting Numbers into Time

    Dear All,

    =INT(A1)&"."&INT(((A1)-INT(A1))*60)

    I am using this equation to change a decimal number i.e. 15.9 into mins and seconds i.e. 15.54. This equation seems to work.

    I am trying to work out my pace (minuites/mile) and keep the time in mm:ss

    A1= 15.54 (the time it takes to do 3.1 miles) and A2= 3.1 (The amount of miles)

    =INT(A1/A2)&"."&INT(((A1/A2)-INT(A1/A2))*60)

    This equation works for this, I think. But what I really want to know is how to work out a percentage of this pace. I.e. I want to know my pace (min/mile) if I were to run at 60% effort.

    Does anyone know how to adapt the equation to achieve this?

    Ash

    You're certainly making it harder than necessary

    To convert 15.9 to 15:54

    =A1/1440 and format as [m]:ss

    If that represents a time to do 3.1 miles, then the time required at 60% of that speed is

    =A1/1440/60% which returns 26:30

    That is ridiculously easy, thanks very much for that. Could you just explain why you used 1440?

    Cheers again, thats made my day
