Using text function to convert time to minutes

I have time data in the following format -- 6/1/2011 12:10:42 AM -- and would like to identify the minutes. When I use the text function (=text(cell, "m")), the month is returned. How do I modify the function so that the number of minutes is returned. Thanks much.

koochandkai,

What you're looking for is the Minute() formula. If the date/time value is in cell A1:
=MINUTE(A1)

Hope that helps,

Worked like a charm! Thanks so much!
