Is it possible with a single formula to convert a number of seconds
sssss to the text hh:mm:ss please?

For example, 6185 would become 01:43:05.

divide the seconds by seconds per day.
Your seconds in A1. Then in B1:
=A1/86400
and format the result cell h:mm:ss

or without a helper column:
Write 86400 in a empty cell = copy that cell = select all cells with
your seconds = Paste Special = Divide = Format the cells hh:mm:ss

Hi Claus,

Excellent, thank you - I was hoping you'd be around!

That combination of formatting and formulas is a powerful one I must
try to use more often.

Best wishes,

Here you go:

=TEXT(1685/86400,"hh:mm:ss")

Note: Instead of 1685 give cell number for your convenience
