Is there a way to convert time into a whole number? I have a data set of
minutes that I would like to convert. For example, instead of the cell
reading :15 I would like for it to read 15. Since Excel does not work
with
negative time I was hoping this might be a good work around for getting
the
info I need. Thanks
