How to convert minutes seconds into decimal format in Excel.
eg: I have the data 28 minutes, 116 seconds
which needs to be first calculated to be read as 29 minutes, 56 seconds. And then it needs to be converted into decimal format.
Does the data always show minutes and seconds? What about hours? For just minutes and seconds in A2 try this formula
=SUM(MID("000"&A2,FIND({"min","sec"},A2)-1,3)/{1440,86400})format result cell as h:mm:ss or similar
Revised
If you have minutes as a number in A1 and seconds as a number in A2 as per your comment then you can use this formula in A3 to get that converted to a time value
=TIME(0,A1,A2)Format as
[h]:mm:ssand that will give a result like 0:29:56….or if you want to get “decimal minutes” – e.g. for the same figures that would be 29.93 – then multiply by 1440, i.e.
=TIME(0,A1,A2)*1440format A3 as
number
