You're welcome. But Brian Barker's suggestion is both more elegant and
simpler, because it considers takes account of times greater than 24
hours.

Say your time is in cell A1 in text format (e.g. '25:01:50)

Then adding the formula to another cell 
=ROUND(a1*1440,0) or just ROUND(a1*1440) gives the right answer (1502),
whereas my previous formula would wrongly return 1 (hour) instead of
25, giving total 62.

Cheers
Harvey
