converting seconds into minutes
I hope Niek will not mind me explaining his answer.
Excel keeps time values as fractions of a day. You have N seconds so dividing by 60 gives minutes, dividing again by 60 gives hours and finally dividing by 24 gives days. best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Niek Otten" wrote in message ... =A1/24/60/60 Format Custom as mm:ss.0 -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "LondonLion" wrote in message ...
