Excel 2007, Converting microseconds to seconds in multiple cells all at time.

Hello, looking to see how to convert a group of cells from microseconds to seconds. Example: 4000 to 4.00,   15200 to 15.20 ---  the below cells are in microseconds and I need to convert them to seconds with decimal point at two digits.    

4500500650010003100
36002000600025002200
  • I guess you meant milliseconds.

    Enter 1000 in a cell, select it and type Ctrl-c
    select your raw data (in milliseconds)
    click Paste>Special Paste, select Division and hit Enter
    That will divide all your numbers by 1000
    Now, format your data as numbers with 3 decimal places<;

    That's it!

    Select any empty cell and enter 1000 into it. Copy that cell. Now select all cells with microseconds and choose Paste Special and select the Divide option.
