Converting Decimal to Time
 

I have the decimal number 12.73 and I want it to show as time, which should
be 13.13 ( 13 Hours and 13 Minutes). How do I do this?

I think you want to divide it by 24 but I cannot see where 13:13 comes from,
I get 12:43.

It seems like your example is not a typical conversiion where 12.73 would be
12.73 hours.

If 12.73 means 12 hours and 73 minutes, they try this:

For a value in A1

B1: =(INT(A1)*60+(MOD(A1,1)*100))/(24*60)
or
B1: =(INT(A1)+(MOD(A1,1)*100/60))/(24)
Format the results as time

Does that help?

=--SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",":")

format the cell as time or you'll get some decimals, I must say the logic in
displaying 13:13 as 12.73 escapes me?

Maybe I'm doing this wrong. Column A reads like this

Week 1 39.00 hours
2 39.00 hours
3 39.00 hours
4 39.00 hours
5 39.00 hours
6 39.00 hours
Total 280.14 hours
Divided by 22.00 per hour
Total 12.73 hours

I don't know how that could happen....Check the formula.

For A1: 12.73

B1: =(INT(A1)+(MOD(A1,1)*100/60))/(24)
B1: =(12 + 0.73*100/60)/24
B1: =(12 + 1.216666...)/24
B1: =(13.216666...)/24
B1: =0.550694444444444
(slightly more than half a day)
Formatted as time, that is 13:13:00

I'm thoroughly confused. If you've got 6 lots of 39 hours, that adds up to
234 hours, not 280.14. What does the formula in that cell say, and what
format is in that cell, and in the cells with 39.00 hours (and what does the
formula bar show where you've got 39.00 in the cell)?

But if you do end up with 280.14 and divide it by 22 to give 12.73, then
that's decimal hours, so would be 12 hours & 44 minutes, not 13 hours 13
minutes.
