To make a number look and act like time, you have to
understand how Excel stores and manages date and time.
A date is calculated as the number of days after 1/1/1900.
This means March 14 2003 is 37694

A day is devided into hours in the same fasion. 1=1 day,
hence 0,5 is 12 hours.
1 minute is 1/24/60

To make the cell look like time, adjust the cell
properties.

Hi Apollo Creed,

Convert your number to minutes multiplying by 60 and use Time() worksheet
function, like this:

=TIME(0,7.25*60,0)

See Excel help for Time() arguments.
