I am looking for a neat way of converting a cell from
Minutes:Seconds.Milliseconds to
Seconds.Milliseconds
i.e.
11.111 = 11.111
1:11.111 = 71.111
I have something in place at the moment but its a bit hacky and I am sure there must be some nice excel feature to do this for me :P
Thanks!

To convert hh:mm:ss time format to seconds: =HOUR(A2)*3600 + MINUTE(A2)*60 + SECOND(A2).
Because each hour can be represented as 1/24, you can convert an Excel time into decimal hours by multiplying the value by 24, convert to decimal minutes by multiplying the value by 1440 (24 * 60) , and convert to seconds by multiplying by 86400 (24 * 60 * 60). The Excel time 6:00 converts to 21,600 seconds.
As with Excel, the first step to converting elapsed second to time is to divide the value by 86400. To format the cells for mm:ss, select Format > Number > More Formats > More date and time formats from the Menu.
So all you need to do is divide the data you have in milliseconds by 86,400,000. Format the result as [h]:mm:ss and you are done. Note that if the value is more than 86,400,000, then you have deal with that, by adjusting the hours. Was this reply helpful?
Do this:
Place values 0:0:11.111 and 0:1:11.111 in cells B3 and B4 respectively.
Now format it to account for the milliseconds... Select cells B3 and B4, right click and choose Format Cells. In Custom, put the following in the text box labeled Type:
[h]:mm:ss.000
Now on cell C3 put the following formula:
=B3*86400
Fill C4 with the same formula...
Format column C as Number with 3 decimal places.
You're done! :)
Here's a screenshot of the attempt I made and that worked:
Edit:
As you wanna enter only MM:SS.ms you can format the entire B column with a custom format like: mm:ss.000. Now you can enter values as 02:11.111 and it'll convert it accordingly giving you 131.110. Hope it helps.
