Is there a formula that will convert time format from minutes and seconds to Hours, minutes and seconds. I have some stats from Crystal Reports that are in minutes and seconds format (i.e 01:02, 1 minute & 2 seconds). I paste this into excel and compare the times with other stats that are in hours, minutes & seconds format (i.e 00:01:02, 0 hrs, 1 minutes & 2 seconds). At the moment I am having to overtype the cell to convert it in to the hours minutes & second format but wondered if there was a forumula I could set up that would do this for me.

I had to convert the value in A1 to TEXT in order for it to work.

The input 1:02 is probably text-formatted. This can be converted to true time by a little tweak to what you suggest...

=--("0:"&A1)

where A1 has a text formatted value like 1:02. The formula cell needs to be custom formatted as

h:mm:ss
