Hi folks.
I have copied some athletic times from a website into Excel 2007.
These times look like 03:56.8 on the website and in the body of the
worksheet. *I want to convert these times into seconds, in this case
236.8 s. When I go to the formula bar the times are recorded in the
form 12:03:57 a.m. *I have tries various things but the decimals of a
second seem to have gone.
Any suggestions appreciated. *Thanks.- Hide quoted text -
