How to convert decimal numbers to time format
 

Hi all, I need to convert decimal numbers to hh:mm format in my workbook.
For instance 3/4 hour coms in decimal .75 which I need to convert into hh:mm
in next cell, since the rest of the spreadsheet is in that format.
Can anyone help please?

Excel stores time in "days".

So for fractions of an hour, divide by 24 and format as time.

Be aware that, in order to display more than 24 hours, you must place your hour
token within brackets: [hh]:mm
