    how have you entered the value into the cell that is formatted "dd hh:mm:ss"

    if for example you wanted to enter 2 days and 10 hours and you typed "2 10:00:00" it wouldnt work.

    You would need to type "02/01/1900 10:00:00"

    Assuming the data is text (not a formatted elapsed time value) then try this formula to give minutes

    =(LEFT(A1,2)+RIGHT(A1,8))*1440

    alternatively, if it is a formatted elapsed time value then you only need to multiply by 1440, i.e.

    =A1*1440

    In either case I assume that your data is in A1 - format result cell as number or general
