Default Converting :mm:ss to ss

I have data that I export to Excel where the total time comes in as :mm:ss.
I need to convert that format into seconds. For example, my report shows me
:01:25, I need to be able to show that at 85 seconds. I have a formula that
will convert mm:ss to seconds which is =INT(G2)*60+((G2-INT(G2))*100) where
G2 is 01:25 the result will be 85. but the report i have now comes with an
extra :. I cannot seem to be able to automatically remove the : at the
begining of the expression or modify my formula above to account for the
extra :. I am sure this is pretty simple it is just beyone me though. Any
help will be much appreciated!
