Need excel formula to display 28.50hrs in HRS & MINS?
I am trying to calculate distance, speed and time to cover the distance in
Excel spreadsheet. I am using distance/speed to display the time in hours & decimals of an hour, e.g. 28.50hrs [which is 28 hrs 30mins]; but can't come up with a consistent formula to display the time in hours and mins. =TEXT (F2/24 etc.) does not work once the number of hours is more than 24hrs. Can anyone suggest a formula please? -- Regards rbc |

rbc,
=TEXT(F2/24,"[h]:mm") or, more simply: =F2/24 then format for custom [h]:mm HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "rbc" wrote in message ...
