Hi Saray,

If your just looking to convert the 4:11 format to all seconds in a
different cell try using this formula in the destination cell:

=60*MID(E7,1,SEARCH(":",E7,1)-1)+(MID(E7,SEARCH(":",E7,1)+1,2))

This will work for any size Minute:Second combination (4:11 or 100:27 for
example). You MUST make sure the 4:11 cell is formatted as Text, because if
left as general or time or whatever else it is set to the formula will result
in a #VALUE error.

If you enter 4:11 (as minute:second) in cell A1, then enter
=SECOND(A1)+60*MINUTE(A1)
Format the other cell as General and you will get 251

The thread aged off for me, but if I enter:
00:04:11
in A1, I can use this in B1:
=A1*60*60*24
(formatted as general)
and get 251 back.
