    If you use a German-language Excel then I would enter the number with the decimal separator comma: -12.8815599.

    The decimal separator point is e.g. used in English language versions.

     

    Cell format:

    ## "°" ## "'" ## "." ## "' '"

     

    51052637915105°26'37.91'
    322988466322°98'84.66''

     

    or with formula

    =TEXT((LEFT(A3,LEN(A3)-8)&","&RIGHT(A3,8))/24,"[h]° mm' ss,0''")

     

    I would be happy to know if I could help.
