Is there any relativley easy way to take a number of seconds, say 105499, and convert it to HH:MM:SS? I know the answer is 29:18:19, but the report generator I use exports in seconds only, and I need HH:MM:SS.
Format the cell that contains the value as hh:mm:ss by choosing format cells and choosing custom from the list ont he left. On the right, choose hh:mm:ss. I don't think I've explained myself very well so I hope you know what I mean?????
Step 1: Divide your seconds by 86400 (easiest way might be to copy a cell with 86400 and then hit paste specialdivide over your range).
Step 2: Format CellsTime and you'll want to use the "37:30:55" choice. The custom format "hh:mm:ss" will only recycle numbers over 24 hours. I'm sure there's a custom format you could also choose, but the above is already in the listings for time anyway.
