Calculating Minutes in Excel
Hello,
I am trying to add minutes up in Excel, but I can't figure out which formula to use to display the total correctly? I am trying to add 55 plus 55 as integers(110), I need the total to be displayed as 1.50 (.50) being the difference in minutes. Here is a better look. A1 = 55, A2 = 55, A3 =SUM(A1:A2)/60, A3 displays the value (1.8333). Is there anyway to display the value as 1.50, instead of (1.8333) and keep the value an integer? Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks. |

Calculating Minutes in Excel
As long as you just use minutes like in your example this will work
=--TEXT(TEXT(INT(SUM(A1:A2)/60)&MOD(SUM(A1:A2),60),"00\:00"),"h.m") -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Gabe" wrote in message ...

Forget that one, won't work if total is less than a certain number

If you have A1 and A2 as above (I am assuming that the values in each of those cells is actually 55 rather than '55 mins' which has a value of 0.03819444...) then you can enter the following formula in A3: =SUM(A1:A2)/(24*60) Which evaluates to 0.0763888... which is 1 hour, 50 mins (the standard unit of time in excel is a day = 24 hours). To make it display as you set out above, change the number format for that cell to: h.mm I would suggest you don't use that format though. It is ambiguous as to whether you mean 1 hr, 50 mins or 1.50 hours (which is equal to 1hr, 30 mins). Personally I would use this format: hh:mm:ss The use of a colon is generally accepted to indicate a separation between hours, mins, and seconds so at least people will know it is a time value of 1 hr, 50 mins (rather than 1 min, 50 secs). Obviously you choice though! HTH, Alan. -- The views expressed are my own, and not those of my employer or anyone else associated with me. My current valid email address is: This is valid as is.

Calculating Minutes in Excel
Ron,
In the formula you provided, how can I altar it to add a range instead of only two cells? Instead of, A1+A2, Be, the SUM of A1:A20 "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote: On Mon, 19 Dec 2005 15:06:02 -0800, "Gabe" wrote: Hello, I am trying to add minutes up in Excel, but I can't figure out which formula to use to display the total correctly?

Calculating Minutes in Excel
Actually I need the time to be in a certain integer form so that it can be
multiplied by a set price per minute. Sorry I forgot to clarify that from the begining. Thanks for the help though.

Calculating Minutes in Excel
Peo,
This one worked, but now I am trying to add 26.25 plus 3.50, yet I come up with the answer of 29.75. I need it to read the same way so the value would be (30.15). Is there a way to modify the current formula so that these values add in multiples of 60 as well? A1 = 26.25, A2 = 3.50, A3 = A1+A2, A3 displays (29.75), can A3 display (30.15) instead?
