Hours & Minutes to Decimal

[SAR]

How do I convert 2:15 TIME VALUE (2 hours and 15 minutes) to 2.25
hours?
I'm really beat on this one. Please be specific. Thanks so much.

=A1*24
Format as General (or as Number, but don't leave it as Time as Excel did)

Kind regards,

Assuming your value is in A1

=CONVERT(A1,"day","hr")

HTH,

I must not be doing something right to get 2.25 hours.

I added times of day and got 2:15 (time value format-2hours & 1
minutes). 2:15 is in cell A1. Then I tried =CONVERT(A1,"day","hr"
with Number and General format and received #NAME?. Tried =A1*24 wit
Number and General format and received 0.

Please help

Assuming your value is in A1

=CONVERT(A1,"day","hr")

But remember that the CONVERT function is only available if the Analysis
ToolPak add-in is installed.

For CONVERT you need the Analysis ToolPak add-in.

=A1*24 should work, so my guess is that your 2:15 is not formatted as time.
Check the format of A1.
