In the former formula is the time is in decimal.
here a formula in hh:mm:sec

Hi, you can try something like this:

=TEXT(TIME(0,TEXTBEFORE(A1," m"),MID(A1,FIND("n ",A1)+1,3)),"h:mm:ss")

Change reference A1 accordingly.

    Hi Martin. For some reason i only get "Value" as end result. This is the Norwegian version that i use: =TEKST(TID(0;TEKST(F2;"m");DELTEKST(F2;FINN("n";F2)+1;3));"T:MM:SS")
