How do i convert a number of seconds to a date/time?
I have some system logs that have a number that is either a serial number or
the number of seconds. I have tried to use the Convert function, format the cell to date/time, but it doesn't look reasonable. I've read that serial numbers start at 1/1/1900, but this would put my date/time at september 2005, and we aren't there yet. :) Any suggestions and ideas would be helpful. |
Margo,
Time is stored as a fraction of 1 day, dates as the number of date from 01/01/1900. Today, 9:00PM has a value of 38,356.88. If your number is in seconds, divide it by 86,400 (24*60*60) to get a date/time number. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Margo" wrote in message ...

Do you have an example number and the approximate date/time that it should
represent? Tim C "Margo" wrote in message ... I have some system logs that have a number that is either a serial number or the number of seconds.
