Default converting a decimal to time

Darrell

divide the number by 24 and format the cell as hh:mm:ss

For example, if A1 has 4.9, B1 would be =A1/24 formatted as hh:mm:ss is
04:54:00

Regards

Trevor

I want to be able to convert a decimal into time, and am completely stuck!

As an example, I have in cell A1 4.9 (this number represents 4.9hrs).

I want a formula that will calculate the hours and minutes for me, and
show
the result in normal time format. In my example above the answer I would
be
looking for is 04:54 (i.e. four hours and 54 minutes).

I have trawled these threads and have found many posts on how to convert
time to a decimal. I want to do the reverse.

Any ideas?

Darrell.
