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.
