Calculate average speed
I have a training spreadsheet which includes distance in miles xx.xx (column
D) and lapsed time in h:mm:ss (column E) How do you enter and format the lapsed time data so excel can calculate the average speed (column F)? I've tried [h]:mm:ss and this doesn't seem to work (and about 20 other permutations from the online "help") :-( |

Calculate average speed
Hi
Excel store times as fractions of a day, so multiplying by 24 gives a decimal value to dived into the mileage. Try =D1/(E1*24) Format the cell as Number or General -- Regards Roger Govier "britgrit" wrote in message ...
