Default Changing a number into time

The cell that gives the 107 which is (k109) has the following formulae in it
=SUM(K99:K108) its a bisic number cell with no decimal places.

I think you are going to have to give us some additional information. If
there is a formula in the cell with the 107 in it, copy/paste it into a
response to us. Also, tell us exactly what is displayed in the cell (and
what side of the cell it is on... left or right side). If there is a formula
in the cell, tell us what is in any referenced cells (that is, if your
formula uses C5 in it, tell us what is in C5). Right-click the cell and
select Format Cells from the popup menu... what item in the Category list
(on the Number tab) is selected? If Custom, tell us what custom format
string is shown in the Type field. Oh, and is this cell part of a merged set
of cells? You could also tell us anything else you might have done "out of
the ordinary" to the cell.

Better yet would be if you could put the spreadsheet up on a webpage
somewhere so that we could download it and look at it directly (of course,
if you do this, tell us what cell or cells we should be looking at).

Wouldn't the A1/1440 part of my formula convert a "text number" into a
real
number in order to perform the division?

It sounds as if A1 doesn't contain a number, but instead contains some
form of text. What does =ISNUMBER(A1) show?

Am i doing something wrong in my formulae?
I copied and paste yours and changed the cell reference but it still

At the end of the day it becomes a bit more complicated, it could
be
107minutes. This is easy to understand in it's self. Yet I need a
formulae
that would convert the 107 (which is a general number with no
decimal
places)
into a time which should be 1 Hour 47 minutes

This formula will do that...

=TEXT(A1/1440,"[h] ""hours"" mm ""minutes""")

where A1 is assumed to have your 107 minute result.
