I have a list of durations in minutes used to log calls and I want to use Excel to format them and do some calculations. However, these are just exported as table and when I attempt to bring them into Excel, the cells won't format correctly.
An example below:
01:00 is entered as the number of minutes and seconds
However, when I try to use Excels cell format it turns it into 01:00:00 as in hours, minutes, seconds (hh:mm:ss).
Now I want to convert it to this as I also have the cost per minute which I then need to multiply by this time. To clarify further as to why it needs to be in this format, is because i want to use the follow query to get the total cost per minute.
=(HOUR(H4)*60*I4)+(MINUTE(H4)*I4)+(SECOND(H4)/60*I4)
Can anyone help with how to get Excel to recognise this in mm:ss format.
