The information in this article applies to:

  • == Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, version 3.0 and 4.0 ==

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”.
