what is the formula for converting a time from 14.58 to read 2:35 pm?

You don't need a formula. You should just be able to format the cell as
time.

Thanks Anne. I tried that though, and it gives me back a different time
format. We divide the 60 minutes of the hour into 100 minutes, so each
minute is 1.67, which is causing me the grief.

Have a look in the help at how Excel handles times and dates

=14.58/24 formated as time

will return
2:34 PM (note: I belive time does not round up in Excel)

RES

If you need it rounded up, use

=ROUND(14.58*60,0)/60/24

I mean rounded. Rounded up would be

=ROUNDUP(14.58*60,0)/60/24
