Formating seconds into mm:ss
How do you format a cell to convert a "seconds" input into minutes and
seconds? Whenever I try to select the format mm:ss, it converts into a date with the month and year etc. Thanks! |

Formating seconds into mm:ss
If you have seconds as an integer in cell A1, put this in B1:
=A1/60/60/24 and apply a custom format to cell B1 of: [mm]:ss Times are stored internally in Excel as fractions of a 24-hour day, hence the need for those divisions. Hope this helps.

Formating seconds into mm:ss
Hi,
I assume these 'seconds' are simply numbers so try this =A1/(60*60*24) Format as [mm]:ss Mike "Nelson B." wrote: How do you format a cell to convert a "seconds" input into minutes and seconds? Whenever I try to select the format mm:ss, it converts into a date with the month and year etc. Thanks! |

Formating seconds into mm:ss
Thanks for the help. This works, but I was hoping to be able to simply
change the format of a cell, so an input of 80 sec would show as 01:20. Is that possible or does it require the use of a formula?

Hi,
I don't believe that is possible to do as a format. Mike "Nelson B." wrote: Thanks for the help.
