Default How do I show amount of time in minutes and seconds?

To convert 1 to 1:00 in minutes and seconds upon entering it you need to
either use an event macro
or an extra cell with a formula. To convert 90 (seconds) entered in one cell
to 1:30
in another you can use


=A1/86400

and format as mm:ss

where A1 holds 90

Sorry, I didn't explain that correctly . . .
I have a recording which is 1 minute and 30 seconds that I want to display
as 1:30 (minutes and seconds) or if I have a 1 minute recording and I
enter 1
I would need it to display 1:00.

Elsewhere I want to display the amount in seconds only. so in the example
above there would be
90
60

If you mean in the formula bar then you need to change your regional
setting
in the control panel to 24 hours (HH:mm)
if you meant in the cell itself just use hh:mm or [hh]:mm as format

If I enter in 1:30 I want it to display 1:30 not 1:30 AM. (1 hour and
30
minutes)
