Excel offers a number of useful built in formulas for manipulating dates and times, but does contain a simple function for taking a time (ie "10:00") and converting this into the number of minutes (eg 600 mins). The three functions below show you how to add your own custom formulea to perform this simple task: Function NumHours(timeSpan As Variant) As Variant Dim res As Double Application.Volatile True res = CDbl(timeSpan) * 24 NumHours = res End Function Function NumMins(timeSpan As Variant) As Variant Dim res As Double Application.Volatile True res = CDbl(timeSpan) * 24 * 60 NumMins = res End Function Function NumSecs(timeSpan As Variant) As Variant Dim res As Double Application.Volatile True res = CDbl(timeSpan) * 24 * 60 * 60 NumSecs = res End Function
