Hi Todd,

Excel stores dates and times as numbers (1 equals one day) too.
Just format Custom as d:hh:mm and you get waht you require

I have a number coming otu in decimal form representing days

.25, .5, 1.25 1.5, 100.5, 368.75, it can be anything up to about 3 years.

I need to convert to Dayss:Hrs:minutes ddd:hh:mm

so 1.5 would be 1:12:00
1.25 would be 1:06:00
368.75 would be 368:18:00

If something is 29 days, 23 hrs, & 50 minutes that is important to my world

Hey thanks for your time

Todd
