Default Minutes and Seconds

Hi All,

I want to format my cells for minutes and seconds. The issue I am having is
its for our phone bill. So I have hundred of minutes that I want to show.
When I use the mm:ss it changes it to hours. How do I just display the total
minutes and seconds.

Example: 4474 minutes and 18 seconds (4474:18)

Thanks
Matt

Format the cell as Custom [mm]:ss
Enter data as 0:4474:18

You still need the hours part for data entry

Hi
Try this
Custom Format your cells [mm]:ss and when you enter your figure type
0:2250:12 for 0 hour 2250 minutes 12 seconds, p.s. Don't forget the square
brackets around the minutes

With 282.78 in A1, and minutes in B1, try this in C1:

=A1/(B1*1440)

Make sure C1 is formatted to Number!
