Sorry, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for in an
previous thread.
I am using Excel 2007 on a Vista Business box.

I need to simply convert a raw number of minutes into Hours:Minute
format.
We want to monitor the length of time spent on paticular task
throughout the day. From a drop-down list the end-user selects th
Task Category and then Tabs to the adjacent cell and manually enter
the number of minutes it took to perform the task. The end-use
repeats this process throughout the day for each task.
I have use a SumIf function to track the total number of minutes fo
each task available on the drop-down listing. I need to convert thes
SUMs to hh:mm. Example: 120 minutes would return 2:00 and 126 woul
returen 2:06. Likewise, 45 would return 0:45.
Is this possible?

Divide the minutes by 1440 and format the cell as Time,

=126/1440 formatted as time = 2:06

Regards,
Alan.
 
You can use another cell to convert minutes to time.

=a1/60/24
and give it a nice number format (hh:mm:ss)
