You can do this with an Event macro:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = 60 * Target.Value
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


It is coded to operate on cell A1.

Because this is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to
use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.


To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
