Converting to minutes and seconds

Hi there

Does anyone know how to convert a number into minutes and seconds in the
following format - mm:ss

Many thanks

To expand - I would like to do this when the number is the result of a MAX
formula. I have tried using the custom mm:ss format but this just gives me
the result 00:00 for some reason.

At the moment, the figure expressed is in seconds but displayed just as a
general number.

XL stores times as fractional days, so if you want a true XL time,
you'll need to divide by 24*60*60:

A1: 23
A2: =A1/86400 ===> 0:00:23
