If the number of items is in cell A1, then

=A1/36000/24

and formatted for time will show the time in hrs:mm:ss that it should take to run.

Thank you. It works, but why A1/36000/24 works?

Floyd,

Since you need 36000 per hour, dividing by 36000 gives the number of hours.
Dividing by 24 puts it into the time format that Excel uses, which is 1 = 1
day = 24 hrs.
