Excel: Show seconds as a decimal fraction of a minute
    4 November 2008

    This had me stumped for a while until I figured it out. Seems simple enough, but man, my mind chugged along for a good 20 mins before I got it.

    The problem: show mm:ss as mm.00.

    For example, 1 minute 15 seconds would be 1.25.

    The solution? If your time in mm:ss format is in cell A1:

    =A1*(24*60)

    Then, format that cell to ‘general’ and there you have it- the solution to a problem none of you will ever have! It keeps me busy, though.
