In Excel, I need to be able to extract a time of 51:25:00 that is entered as [h]:mm:ss and convert it into minutes and seconds as 51:25 and have the output show 51:25 as in 51 minutes and 25 seconds. Once I have extracted that time I need to convert it all into minutes so into 51.467 minutes that way I can perform other calculations with those minutes.
I cannot figure out a way to use LEFT() or MID() because of the format of the orginal cells.
I can enter in values as 51:25 with the format: [mm]:ss but that is quite time consuming. But I also do not know how to extract that time into minutes.
I am looking for a formula that can convert the [h]:mm:ss into the required [mm]:ss and then another formula to look at the minutes.
Perhaps something like the following:
=MINUTE(A1/60)+SECOND(A1/60)/60
More robustly perhaps,
=HOUR(A1/60)*60+MINUTE(A1/60)+SECOND(A1/60)/60

I am completing a time study and recording time in excel. I have numbers like 2.24, etc.. I am trying to add them and average them and I am getting numbers like 9.76 when I really want 10m and 16seconds. Any thoughts to fixing this?
When I change the format to mm:ss it give me wild answers
If 9.76 is a decimal number and it's is in A1, then in B1 you can use:
=((A1-(ROUNDOWN(A1;0)))/0,6+(ROUNDOWN(A1;0)))/24
Also, format of cell with formula must be hours (I've used [hh]:mm:ss)
Applying this, I get:
I've done it in the following way: I used cell formatting, like u:mm:ss (in English locale, this might be h:mm:ss instead).
In one cell, I've put 0:2:24 (zero hours, two minutes, 24 seconds).
In the cell below, I've put 0:7:52.
Adding both cells (inside a cell with the mentioned cell formatting) yielded 0:10:16.
=9.76 value(minutes)
=24*60 number of minutes in a day
=A1/A2 formatted as time
Will show 12:09:46. You can use =MINUTE(A3) to extract the minutes and =SECOND(A3) for the seconds.
Actually if 9.76 means 9 minutes and 76 seconds, you'll need more formulas to extract the minutes and seconds then add them together. You can use =Floor() to get the integer. Subtract to find the .76 and multiply by 100 to get the number of seconds. Then divide by 60 to convert to minutes and add to the 9 whole mins. Now you have the number of mins which you can convert to a time value per the above.
EDIT:
You need to enter in Excel as 0:02:12 then you can add quite nicely. If you don't want to re-enter everything you can do this: =VALUE("0:"&SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",":")) then add. Be sure to convert each individual value BEFORE adding otherwise you might get incorrect results.
I have Time In and Time Out that need to be input on a google sheet. It has to be tracked down to the minute so I have a column for hour, minute, and am/pm. My goal is to have the amount of minutes elapsed between the time in and time out in a row.
I have not found a way to combine all three columns into a time, especially with the am/pm column in the mix. Then subsequently do a formula to find minutes elapsed. I am not well versed in spreadsheet formulas so if there is an easier way of achieving my goal please let me know.
A screenshot is attached of the google sheet columns. Thank you to anyone that can help.
Screenshot of columns :
TIME(HOUR,MINUTES,SECONDS)
That is one formula that you can use to convert integers into time in excel. I do not know if it will work in Google Sheets. I will continue with the excel solution with the assumption the formulas are the same in google sheets or there is an equivalent.
Assuming your data is layed out as per the picture below, you could use the following formulas to convert your time to an actual time that the spreadsheet can use. There are other solutions as well.
=TIME(A1+IF(AND(C1="PM",A1<12),12,0),B1,0)
That will convert your separated times into a spread sheet time. Do the same thing for the OUT Time as below:
=TIME(D1+IF(AND(F1="PM",D1<12),12,0),E1,0)+IF(TIME(D1+IF(AND(F1="PM",D1<12),12,0),E1,0)<TIME(A1+IF(AND(C1="PM",A1<12),12,0),B1,0),1,0)
That whole other part about checking the time and adding 1 or 0 is that if the out time is less, it is assuming the time is the next day. Days are represented by integers, and time is represented by the decimal value.
Now that you have a method for determine both times, subtract the larger time from the smaller time with the formula below in a single cell:
=(TIME(D1+IF(AND(F1="PM",D1<12),12,0),E1,0)+IF(TIME(D1+IF(AND(F1="PM",D1<12),12,0),E1,0)<TIME(A1+IF(AND(C1="PM",A1<12),12,0),B1,0),1,0))-(TIME(A1+IF(AND(C1="PM",A1<12),12,0),B1,0))
ALTERNATE METHOD
Convert everything to minutes, take the difference.
The first time converted to minutes will be:
=(A1+IF(AND(C1="PM",A1<12),12,0))*60+B1
The Second time converted to minutes will be:
=(D1+IF(AND(F1="PM",D1<12),12,0))*60+E1+IF(((D1+IF(AND(F1="PM",D1<12),12,0))*60+E1)<((A1+IF(AND(C1="PM",A1<12),12,0))*60+B1),24*60,0)
Now you just need to take the difference between the minutes in a single cell:
=((D1+IF(AND(F1="PM",D1<12),12,0))*60+E1+IF(((D1+IF(AND(F1="PM",D1<12),12,0))*60+E1)<((A1+IF(AND(C1="PM",A1<12),12,0))*60+B1),24*60,0))-((A1+IF(AND(C1="PM",A1<12),12,0))*60+B1)
I have the value 123:04 in an Excel cell and it currently stands for 123 minutes and 4 seconds.How can I convert this value to hours minutes and seconds?
If simply changing the format to [hh]:mm:ss does not change to the correct format, then it would need to be in [hh]:mm format or it is a string. Use this:
=A1/60
Then format the result as [hh]:mm:ss
I need to change a value of time from days:hours:minutes, into either hours with a decimal or minutes. My data comes up as 001:05:46 for example. I am having trouble with the leading zeros confusing excel. Any help would be great!
Assuming that your value to parse is formatted in DDD:HH:MM like 001:05:46... There are a lot of ways to do this but here's a simple one. To convert into hours we need to take the days times 24 hours per day, add the hours, and add the minutes times 1 hour per 60 minutes:
=LEFT(A1,3)*24+MID(A1,5,2)+RIGHT(A1,2)/60
To get this value in terms of minutes we multiply by 60 minutes per hour. A possible modification of the original formula to reach this point would be:
=LEFT(A1,3)*24*60+MID(A1,5,2)*60+RIGHT(A1,2)
I need to create and Excel table that computes daily training times. each row has the following fields: Date, Distance, Time and Minutes/Km. My main problem is that I want to display the Time in format of mm:ss. For example: 24 min and 3 sec should be 24:03, but "Excel" turns it to 00:03:00 (3 min after midnight). I've tried setting up "special formatting" but still "Excel insists" on formatting the hours. More over, training may exceed 60 minutes and I still want it only as mm:ss
My second question is after I'm done with the formatting issue, what is the simple way to compute Time/Distance?
enter the values as 0:mm:ss and format as [m]:ss
as this is now in the mins & seconds, simple arithmetic will allow you to calculate your statistics
Excel shows 24:03 as 3 minutes when you format it as time, because 24:03 is the same as 12:03 AM (in military time).
Use General Format to Add Times
Instead of trying to format as Time, use the General Format and the following formula:
=number of minutes + (number of seconds / 60)
Ex: for 24 minutes and 3 seconds:
=24+3/60
This will give you a value of 24.05.
Do this for each time period. Let's say you enter this formula in cells A1 and A2. Then, to get the total sum of elapsed time, use this formula in cell A3:
=INT(A1+A2)+MOD(A1+A2,1)
Convert back to minutes and seconds
If you put =24+3/60 into each cell, you will have a value of 48.1 in cell A3.
Now you need to convert this back to minutes and seconds. Use the following formula in cell A4:
=MOD(A3,1)*60
This takes the decimal portion and multiples it by 60. Remember, we divided by 60 in the beginning, so to convert it back to seconds we need to multiply.
You could have also done this separately, i.e. in cell A3 use this formula:
=INT(A1+A2)
and this formula in cell A4:
=MOD(A1+A2,1)*60
Here's a screenshot showing the final formulas:
To make life easier when entering multiple dates/times it is possible to use a custom format to remove the need to enter the colon, and the leading "hour" 0. This however requires a second field for the numerical date to be stored, as the displayed date from the custom format is in base 10.
Displaying a number as a time (no need to enter colons, but no time conversion)
For displaying the times on the sheet, and for entering them without having to type the colon set the cell format to custom and use:
0/:00
Then enter your time. For example, if you wanted to enter 62:30, then you would simply type 6230 and your custom format would visually insert a colon 2 decimal points from the right.
If you only need to display the times, stop here.
Converting number to time
If you need to be able to calculate with the times, you will need to convert them from base 10 into the time format.
This can be done with the following formula (change A2 to the relevant cell reference):
=TIME(0,TRUNC(A2/100),MOD(A2,100))
=TIME starts the number to time conversion
We don't need hours, so enter 0, at the beginning of the formula, as the format is always hh,mm,ss (to display hours and minutes instead of minutes and seconds, place the 0 at the end of the formula).
For the minutes, TRUNC(A2/100), discards the rightmost 2 digits.
For the seconds, MOD(A2,100) keeps the rightmost 2 digits and discards everything to the left.
The above formula was found and adapted from this article:
PC Mag.com - Easy Date and Time Entry in Excel
Alternatively, you could skip the 0/:00 custom formatting, and just enter your time in a cell to be referenced of the edge of the visible workspace or on another sheet as you would for the custom formatting (ie: 6230 for 62:30)
Then change the display format of the cells with the formula to [m]:ss as #Sean Chessire suggested.
Here is a screen shot to show what I mean.
If you are using hand inputted data, you can enter your data as mm:ss,0 or mm:ss.0 depending on your language/region selection instead of 00:mm:ss.
You need to specify your cell format as [m]:ss if you like to see all minutes seconds format instead of hours minutes seconds format.
as text:
=CONCATENATE(TEXT(cell;"d");" days ";TEXT(cell;"t");" hours ";MID(TEXT(cell;"hh:mm:ss");4;2);" minutes ";TEXT(cell;"s");" seconds")
5.In the Format Cells box, click Custom in the Category list.
6.In the Type box, at the top of the list of formats, type [h]:mm;# and then click OK. (That’s a colon after [h], and a semicolon after mm.)
YOu can then add hours. The format will be in the Type list the next time you need it.
From MS, works well.

One convenient trick to entering elapsed times into Excel is to have two zeros and a colon before the number of minutes, details follow. For copy and paste operations into Excel without have to worry about formatting at all one can use the format 00:XX:XX where XX are two digits totaling < 60. In that case, Excel will echo 0:XX:XX in the cell contents displayed and store the data as 12:XX:XX AM. If one pastes data in a 00:XXX:XX format into Excel, or 00:XX:XX where either XX > 59 this will be converted into a fraction of a day.
For example, 00:121:12 becomes 0.0841666666666667, which if multiplied by the number of seconds in a day, 86,400, becomes 7272 s. Next, 00:21:12 would by default show 0:21:12 stored as 12:21:12 AM. Finally, 00:21:60 becomes 0.0152777777777778, also a fraction of a day.
This suggestion is made merely to avoid having to worry about specific formatting in Excel, and letting the program worry about it. Note, for Excel data internally formatted as 12:XX:XX AM one can only use certain Excel commands, for example, one can take an average. However, subtraction will only work when the result is a positive number. Such that converting times into seconds, fractions of a day, or other real number is suggested for access to more complete arithmetic operation coverage.
For example, if one has a column of mixed time formats, or times that are negative and will not display, if one changes the number formatting to General, all the times will be converted to fractions of a day.
