Manipulating imported times
Hi folks.
I have copied some athletic times from a website into Excel 2007. These times look like 03:56.8 on the website and in the body of the worksheet. I want to convert these times into seconds, in this case 236.8 s. When I go to the formula bar the times are recorded in the form 12:03:57 a.m. I have tries various things but the decimals of a second seem to have gone. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. |
