Convert Time Column to Text
I have a spreadsheet that contains Artist, Song and Length of Song info that
was created by a music collection software. EXAMPLE CELLS 1 shows the cell's actual values and EXAMPLE CELLS 2 shows how it looks. I'm looking for a way to actually convert all of the song length values in Column C so they are text data type and look exactly like Column C values in EXAMPLE CELLS 2. So basically, Song 1 in cell C1 would be 03:50 and would mean 3 minutes and 50 seconds. Is there a way to do this witha formula or does this require vba code? ** EXAMPLE CELLS 1 *************** A B C ----------------------------------------------- 1 Artist1 Song1 12:03:50 AM 2 Artist2 Song2 12:03:42 AM 3 Artist3 Song3 12:04:02 AM ** EXAMPLE CELLS *************** A B C ----------------------------------------------- 1 Artist1 Song1 03:50 2 Artist2 Song2 03:42 3 Artist3 Song3 04:02 |

Convert Time Column to Text
Select those time cells; right-click and select Format Cells; click on the
Number tab; select Custom from the Category list; and put mm:ss in the Type field; click OK. Rick "scott" wrote in message ...
