Using your example you could use

=TRUNC(A1)&CHAR(176)&TEXT(MOD(ABS(A1),1)/24," mm:ss")

in general you can find a lot of info here

I would like to convert decimal values (-33.654873) to
degrees/minutes/seconds
I am looking for an automatic function to do this.

-33.654873 = -33 degrees 39 minutes (0.654873*60 = 39.29238) 18 seconds
(0.29238 * 60 = 17.54)

Is there a way to do this autmatically?

Kind regards,
