Hi Soumik,
This was VERY good information and easy to understand.
I have a more complex time formula that I need guidance with, maybe you can help. I believe that I need to write and ‘if, than’ formula to accomplish it.
The minute tenths fraction of time need to follow result:
0-3 = .0
4-9 = .1
10-15 = .2
16-21 = .3
22-27 = .4
28-33 = .5
34-39 = .6
40-45 = .7
46-51 = .8
52-57 = .9
58-60 = 1.0
How would you create a formula that would achieve those results?
Hey there!
We understand your problem that you shared here. Based on the scenario you have provided, there can be two possible cases of your problem and solution.
Case -1
If you want to convert the minute span into the tenths fraction of time as you mentioned. For example,
0-3 = .0
4-9 = .1
10-15 = .2
16-21 = .3
…….
58-60 = 1.0
You can simply use the formula to convert it into tenth fraction. (Yes, you are right, we will use multiple IF function to achieve it)
=IF(AND(A1>=0, A1<=3), 0, IF(AND(A1>=4, A1<=9), 0.1, IF(AND(A1>=10, A1<=15), 0.2, IF(AND(A1>=16, A1<=21), 0.3, IF(AND(A1>=22, A1<=27), 0.4, IF(AND(A1>=28, A1<=33), 0.5, IF(AND(A1>=34, A1<=39), 0.6, IF(AND(A1>=40, A1<=45), 0.7, IF(AND(A1>=46, A1<=51), 0.8, IF(AND(A1>=52, A1<=57), 0.9, IF(AND(A1>=58, A1<=60), 1, "Out of Range"))))))))))))
Replace A1 with the cell reference where your time value is located.
This formula uses nested IF statements to check the given conditions and return the corresponding result based on the specified ranges. If the value is outside the specified ranges, it will return “Out of Range.” Adjust the cell reference and the ranges as needed for your specific use case.
Case -2
In this case, if you want to convert the time 7:25:00 (hh:mm:ss) into 7.4. You can use the formula to convert it. Say, the value 7:25:00 is stored in cell A1.
=IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=0,MINUTE(A1)<=3),HOUR(A1)+0,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=4,MINUTE(A1)<=9),HOUR(A1)+0.1,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=10,MINUTE(A1)<=15),HOUR(A1)+0.2,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=16,MINUTE(A1)<=21),HOUR(A1)+0.3,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=22,MINUTE(A1)<=27),HOUR(A1)+0.4,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=28,MINUTE(A1)<=33),HOUR(A1)+0.5,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=34,MINUTE(A1)<=39),HOUR(A1)+0.6,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=40,MINUTE(A1)<=45),HOUR(A1)+0.7,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=46,MINUTE(A1)<=51),HOUR(A1)+0.8,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=52,MINUTE(A1)<=57),HOUR(A1)+0.9,IF(AND(MINUTE(A1)>=58,MINUTE(A1)<=60),HOUR(A1)+1,"Out of Range")))))))))))
It will show 7.4 instead of 7:25:00.
You can use this formula for your dataset. To do so, replace A1 with the cell reference where your time value is located.
