Default Is there a simple formula to convert time(hour/min) to (hour/hundr

You're sure making it difficult for people to provide help.

First you say you have decimal hours, and want to convert to a time. Now you
say you have a time, and need the decimal hours. So let's try again:

1. In B1, enter =a1*24
2. Format as a number with two decimal places
2. Copy this formula down to B15

You should now have your results in cells b1:b15. If you don't get the
results you are looking for, it's probably because you have text, rather
than a time. Convert the text to a time (by, for example, using Text To
Columns) in this case.

Regards,
Fred

Okay... turns out I actually have the hours and minutes in cell A1 thru
a15.
I actually need the hour/hundredth)... Is there a formula? and if so, for
A1
where should I be putting this formula?

You need to change A1 to whatever cell your hours are in. As you did not
specify any cell addresses, it's impossible for us to know where your
data
is. So we use A1 as a sample.

If you still need help, tell us where your data is (ie E1, A27:A46), and
I need to covert it to hours/hundredths
we'll give you a specific formula.

Roger,
I have attempted using =A1/24, but its not working.... maybe im putting
it
in the wrong place? is it possible to elaborate a little more on the
"how
to"? I have also been attempting this coversion for my monthly report.

Thanks.

Hi Ron

Excel stores it's times as fractions of a day (24 hours)
Format the cell as hh:mm
then with 6.15 in cell A1 =A1/24

I get an exported excel file that has the time in hours/hundredths
and
I
have
to convert it to hours/minutes - example 6.18 = 6:11, 6.15 = 6:09,
etc.
I'm doing the conversion but it takes me about 4 passes - is there a
simple
way to convert this kind of time. Thank You
