Converting timestamp to correct days/hours for sorting

**redbrad0** · 08-10-2010, 01:42 PM

In my excel file, I have columns of times that has always listed the data in a second format and nothing has ever been over 1 day until now. I was converting the cell to [h]:mm:ss;@ but if the seconds is equal to one day it lists the time as 0:00:00. I would like to be able to list the total hours:minutes:seconds so if it was 1 day 1 hour and 15 minutes and 22 seconds it would display as 25:01:15:22. Should I just store this is a text field, or is there a different cell format that I just dont see to show things in the complete hour format like I showed above?

The custom format you specify would list 1 as 24:00:00 not 0:00:00

I think we need to see a sample of the values.

Here is the VBA code I am using.

tmpData = 1380 ' # 23 Hours comes out as 23:00:000
wkRawDataFormatted.Cells(tmpRow, intStaffColumn).NumberFormat = "[h]:mm:ss;@"
wkRawDataFormatted.Cells(tmpRow, intStaffColumn) = Format((tmpData / 1440), "hh:nn:ss")

tmpData = 1440 ' # 24 Hours comes out as 00:00:000
wkRawDataFormatted.Cells(tmpRow, intStaffColumn).NumberFormat = "[h]:mm:ss;@"
wkRawDataFormatted.Cells(tmpRow, intStaffColumn) = Format((tmpData / 1440), "hh:nn:ss")

tmpData = 1500 ' # 25 Hours comes out as 00:00:000
wkRawDataFormatted.Cells(tmpRow, intStaffColumn).NumberFormat = "[h]:mm:ss;@"
wkRawDataFormatted.Cells(tmpRow, intStaffColumn) = Format((tmpData / 1440), "hh:nn:ss")

Please take a few minutes to read the forum rules, and then change your QUOTE tags to CODE tags.

Thanks.

I changed it to code tags, and im sure this will make someone not respond to giving me help but that is so stupid to reply saying to change the tags. I WOULD have used CODE tags instead of QUOTE tags but by default the CODE tags are not being displayed (on quick reply). If the forum wants us to use CODE tags when we place CODE, than they should make the CODE tags actually visible instead of having to click GO ADVANCED.

The QUOTE tags format the code to display it in a way that anyone can see the code, so instead of just posting asking me to change my post, why not offer help and then say "By the way, if you look at the forum rules, we would rather the code by wrapped by CODE tags. Please edit your post and try and use CODE tags anytime you paste in code."

Ignoring the rant,

    With wkRawDataFormatted.Cells(tmpRow, intStaffColumn)
        .NumberFormat = "[h]:mm:ss;@"
        .Value = tmpData / 1440
    End With

... assuming tmpdata is time in minutes.
