    You may have to break down the time by yourself. 

    For example, A1 = 80.1234
    The minute part in B1 = "=INT(A1)" to get the number 80 as minute.

    The second part in C1 = "=(A1-INT(A1))*60" to get the second (7.4)

     

    In D1, you may  concatenate the string as "= B1 & " min " & C1 & " sec" "

    You may also consider the function TIME and write the formula in D1 as = TIME(0,B1,C1) and then custom the cell format as " m "min" s "sec" ".

     

    Hope that this help you.

Hi

You can use this function:

=INT(MOD(A1,60))&" Min "&INT((MOD(A1,60)-INT(MOD(A1,60)))*60)&" Sec"

Here is a screenshot

and I attached a sample Excel File

 

Hope that helps
