However, from the example you give I'm assuming this is not the case (since 118>60 and the max you'd expect in the seconds column would be 59). So assuming the data in the second two columns IS minutes/decimal minutes your options depend on how the data is entered in the third column with respect to leading/trailing zeros, eg how would say .200, .020 and .002 minutes have been entered in the third column: - if just the digits after the decimal point have been entered, you would have a problem since "2" "02' and "002" will all equate to 2 and I suspect you would have to go through and retype the records to get the correct values. - assuming all three digits (including leading/trailing zeros) have been typed in ie "200" "020" "002" the number will be correctly entered as thousandths ie "200" "20" "2" and you can just do a conversion. 1) type "=RC[-2]+RC[-1]/1000" in column 4 (fill down to cover all records) 2) select and copy column 4 3) "paste special" into column 5 and paste "values" 4) delete columns 2,3 & 4 (a quick alternative would be to just do step 1 and then hide columns 2 & 3) Hope that helps.

Re: help with excel
Oh, yeah... I forgot to mention... when you have the complete list of "formula" based values... you will then want to highlight and copy the whole column. Then "Paste Special" and set the output to "values". This pastes the data back in with only values and no formulas. Insert column next to matched numbers (eg. 33) and clean out the rest.

Re: help with excel
Chris, try this - if you had the numbers in A1 = 32 and B1 = 118 then in C1 put this formula - =VALUE(A1&"."&B1) Then copy down against all other numbers and the result will be a concatinated number value. Also, in the formula change the cell references to where ever the numbers are.

help with excel
Hi everyone I have a dilemma with hundreds of records of gps data. It has been entered in 3 columns as Degrees, Minutes and Seconds: eg 33 32 118Unfortunately I think it should have been in two columns as: Degrees and decimal minutes:eg 33 32.118 Can someone please assist with a short cut to tell excel to add the decimal point and the seconds column to the minutes, so I dont have to go through and retype each record? Blowed if I can think of the solution here, and the help is not that intuitive. I have thought of the Concatenate function but it deals with text...is there another that will use numbers and dots! thanks for any help chris
