I am looking for a neat way of converting a cell from
Minutes:Seconds.Milliseconds
to
Seconds.Milliseconds
i.e.
11.111 = 11.111
1:11.111 = 71.111
I have something in place at the moment but its a bit hacky and I am sure there must be some nice excel feature to do this for me :P
Thanks!
Do this:
Place values 0:0:11.111
and 0:1:11.111
in cells B3
and B4
respectively.
Now format it to account for the milliseconds... Select cells B3
and B4
, right click and choose Format Cells. In Custom, put the following in the text box labeled Type
:
[h]:mm:ss.000
Now on cell C3
put the following formula:
=B3*86400
Fill C4
with the same formula...
Format column C
as Number
with 3 decimal places.
You're done! :)
Here's a screenshot of the attempt I made and that worked:
Edit:
As you wanna enter only MM:SS.ms
you can format the entire B
column with a custom format like: mm:ss.000
. Now you can enter values as 02:11.111
and it'll convert it accordingly giving you 131.110
. Hope it helps.
