how can i convert "22 hours 23 minutes" into 22:23 ?

Hi Gary,

One way is to use Text to Columns so that in your example
you would have,

A1 B1 C1 D1
22 hours 23 minutes

then in E1 put =A1&":"&C1

Depending on your setup it maybe better to export it to
a blank sheet for the conversion and then import back
to your original.

=(LEFT(A11,FIND(" ",A11))+MID(A11,FIND("s ",A11)+2,FIND(" ",A11,FIND("s
",A11)+2)-FIND("s ",A11)-2)/60)/24

and format as hh:mm
