Time!

Hi

I need a way of showing decimal time in minutes and seconds.

i.e I need 14.75 to be 14hours and 45minutes.

Is this possible?

Thanks

I would have thought something along the lines of 14.75 = 14.45
so ignore the hours and we are left with mins 60 *75/100 old maths here
the long way of doing this is 60/1 * 75/100 or 50 /100 for 30 mins however you might end up with some funny times so if some one put in 14.13 you would get
60 *13/100 = 7.80 mins the .8 mins would be 60*80/100 seconds = 48 seconds - recommend you use whole numbers on this element

old school math
hoe this helps

Howdy. Following Gary's lead, if you need this for several cells, then assume your decimal number is in cell B3, then in C3, put this formula

=LEFT(B3,2)&" hours "&ROUND(RIGHT((B3-ROUNDDOWN(B3,0))*60/100,2),2)&" minutes"

You can copy down as far as needed.

NOTES:

This assumes that the that there are two digits to the left of decimal and two digits to the right of decimal. If there is a possibility of more/less on either side, then a more complicated formula will be needed.
