Hi everyone,

I need some help with converting a number (in a text field) to a
different type.

The type of number is time, and it is in the form of:

hh:mm:ss

I need to convert this to just minutes, rounded up, so if ss is
more
than 30 it adds another minute.

I'm at a loss as to how to even start (I'm not a spreadsheet
guy)...

I would appreciate any pointers on how to get this done...

Thanks!

You might like to try the following.
Given that your value is in field A1 in the form hh:mm:ss
then you can do the conversion by entering the following in another
field
=(HOUR(A1)*60)+MINUTE(A1)+ROUND(SEC(A1/60),0)

It doesn't seem to matter if the value in A1 is in time format or
text
format.

I'm sure there are buffs out there who could offer a more elegant
solution, but the above seems to work all right for the cases I
tried.

Cheers
Harvey

Sorry, Tanstaafl! 

There is a slight error in the above. The formula should read
=HOUR(A1)*60+MINUTE(A1)+ROUND(SECOND(A1)/60,0)

'SEC' is the secant function. Also 'MIN' would also be wrong since it
calculates the minimum of a set of values.

Cheers
Harvey
