How to convert 60 minutes to 100 minutes in Excel

Hello! I apologize in advance, but I really am new to formulas... here's my problem: I am a truck driver who is creating a spreadsheet that keeps track of Hours of service, based off of 70 total hours, which I currently have displaying as a decimal (70.0). The problem I am having is getting the minutes to display as the hours and actual "clock" minutes instead of out of 100 minutes. For example, right now I have 26 hours and 58 minutes left, but it is displaying 26.98, not as 26.58, which is what I want. I thought maybe an IF statement would work, or something? Any easy formulas?

If you format it as time it should work just like that.

Try entering 70:00 in one cell, 43:02 in the next, then calculate the diff between those two; you should end up with 26:58.

Let me clarify further; when I format for "time", it gives me the time. I want it to only display the amount of time, not the time. If the amount of time say is 69 hours and 58 minutes, I want it to be displayed as "69.58". Instead, it's showing me "69.98". What function or conditional formatting can I use so that anything over 59 minutes will increase the # to the left of the decimal to the next higher number, and everything to the right of the decimal will not decrease below 0 or increase over 59?

If it is showing 69.98, it is NOT formatted as time. You need to format that cell as time as well.

[h]:mm:ss is the format you need (under custom format)
but still, it will show 69:58 instead of 69.58 you ask for.

That's ok to have the ":", but when I change the format to [h]:mm:ss, it gives me "1679:34:17"??

If you have decimal hours in A1, =TEXT(A1/24,"hh:mm") will display the time in standard hours:minutes format.

Better yet, put =A1/24 in a cell and format the cell for time. Then these arithmetic can be performed on these helper cells if needed.

GOT IT!!! THANKS SO MUCH! The final formula I used was this: 1st, I formatted the cell [h]:mm, then the cell actually had an equation in it, so my formula I wrote like this: =(H3-G11)/24, and that did the trick! Thanks!
