Help with convertions/formula
Hi. I have a data source that gives me data formatted as: "19 min 3 sec". The cell is "standard". Is it possible to somehow convert this to only numbers, or minutes and seconds without the text? I a...
In the former formula is the time is in decimal.
here a formula in hh:mm:sec
=TID(0; VENSTRE(A1; FINN(" min"; A1) - 1); DELTEKST(A1; FINN(" min"; A1) + 5; FINN(" sec"; A1) - FINN(" min"; A1) - 5))You just need to format the cell(s) accordingly (select cell or range of cells > right mouse button > format cells... > custom > type: hh:mm:ss).
Here is a suggested solution
=VALUE(LEFT(A1, FIND(" min", A1) - 1)) + VALUE(MID(A1, FIND(" min", A1) + 5, FIND(" sec", A1) - FIND(" min", A1) - 5)) / 60
Nikolino, that did work. It gave me decimals 1,13 when the value in A1 is "1 min 8 sec"
Here is an example in the file.
The formula has been adapted so that it also works from Excel 2013.
- That is just great. Thank you so much for your help. Much appreciated 🙂
