need to convert from one time expression to another
 

i get data from a billing system that stores time like 1:50 (which
means 1 hour & 50 minutes) but i have to put it into a database that
wants the time to be 110 minutes. the information that i get comes as
a delimited text file that i open in excel clean up (i love macros) &
then import into an access database. every month some one did the
math to convert the time but i think there has to be a better way.

any & all suggestion/ideas/help is appreciated.

need to convert from one time expression to another
 

=A1*24*60, Format as General or Number. (not Time, which is what Excel does automatically)
