I've got a cell with the total number of seconds in it.

A1 contains the number: 3,157

This number represents seconds. Is there a format or function that will
display this in hours-minutes-seconds (hh:mm:ss)?

Thanks,
Paul

One way:

XL stores times as fractional days, so to get an XL time, divide seconds
by the number of seconds in a day:

=A1/86400

Format as [h]:mm:ss

Paul,
you need to divide by 86400. The format you seek can be found in
Format|Cells..., under the Number tab. Choose a Time format.

Try

=A1/24/60/60

or

=A1/86400

formats as hh:mm:ss

In B2 enter =A1/(24*60*60) and you should see 0.036539352
format as hh:mm:ss and you will see 00:52:37
