SUMMARY
The following formula converts time from the hour:minute format to a decimal equivalent in a Microsoft Works spreadsheet
=(Time Reference-INT(Time Reference))*24
where “Time Reference” is the location of the number you want to convert from colon format to decimal. It can be a cell reference or a string of numbers.
For example, if you have “4:30” representing four hours and 30 minutes in cell A1, the formula would read as follows:
=(A1-INT(A1))*24
The result is “4.5”.
