How to type format time in decimal format & calculate time
I used the CUSTOM function as mm:ss, but it's not working. I want a user to
type in the number of dictated minutes they typed; i.e: 2:30 (2 min. 30 sec) and have it stay that way after entered. I'm getting results of 12:00? Also want to add these dictated minutes, and result in H:MM:SS. HELP? I've tried everything! |
How to type format time in decimal format & calculate time
Unfortunately, Excel interprets 2:30 as 2 hours and 30 minutes, not 2
minutes and 30 seconds. Your choices a 1. Enter 0:2:30 2. Enter 2:30.0 3. Divide 2:30 by 60 to convert to minutes and seconds 4. Write a macro which converts the data entered. 5. Lie to Excel. If you always use minutes and seconds, enter as 2:30, and format as [h]:mm. All your calculations will still work. Regards, Fred. "Cheyenne" wrote in message ...
