I receive a spreadsheet with data that I need to copy and paste this in to
another spreadsheet.

The data appears as follows in the following format:
1378:20:00
675:00:00
11:40:00
1:40:00
0:00

I need to write a formula or convert this into the following format:
1378.20
675.00
11.40
1.40
0.00

How can this be accomplished?

With a formula, you can use

=INT(A1*24)+(MINUTE(A1)/100)

To convert a lot of cells at once, use the following code:

Sub AAA()
Dim R As Range
For Each R In Selection.Cells
R.Value = Int(R * 24) + (Minute(R) / 100)
Next R
End Sub

Select the cell(s) you want to convert and then run the code. Be sure
to format the result cells as General or Numeric, not Date or Time.

I would think you can use this formula in another cell...

=TEXT(A1,"[h].mm")

and Copy/Paste Special/Values that column into your other worksheet.
