How do I convert time as text 'mm:ss to time value in Excel
Try this:
=timevalue("0:"&right(a1,5)) Format as mm:ss Regards, Fred. "Sholto" wrote in message ... I have time stored as text in the format 'mm:ss (e.g. '25:15) Note the leading apostrophe. Every Excel function & format I try assumes the minutes are hours and the seconds minutes. I can manually edit cell to 0:mm:ss to get the functionality I need but have 2000 rows to edit... Any ideas would be much appreciated. |

I think you can just do this...
=A1/60 and then format that as mm:ss -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Fred Smith" wrote in message ... Try this: =timevalue("0:"&right(a1,5)) Format as mm:ss Regards, Fred. "Sholto" wrote in message ...

That will work as long as the apostrophe shown by the OP is Excel's text
indicator. If there's actually a leading apostrophe in the cell, it results in a value error. Regards, Fred. "Rick Rothstein" wrote in message ...

If that were the case (although I don't think the OP was indicating that),
then this should work... =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"'","")/60 again, formatting the cell with mm:ss -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Fred Smith" wrote in message ...
