HOW TO CONVERT A1=1 TO C2=SECONDS ,, EXCEL

M

Mike

Thank you so much . But I'm afraid that I probably didn't explain that
correctly.
I was trying to enter a formula so as to change the ( 1 ) to 20 seconds.
So if I enter ( 2 ) in A1 my result in C2 or B2 would be ( 40 )..
Again thank you

Just enter this formula in whatever cell you choose then

=if(A1="","",20*A1)

Mike,

You are more than welcome ... I am just glad that I can help as I hav
had received a lot of help from here as well.

Don't sweat it because you are, in your words, "a real novice exce
user." Everyone here, even the experts, were novices at one time o
another.

Once again here I am.. Can you maybe explain to me how? I could make that
work in another cell like >> B1, B2 I've tried switching the letters in the
same formula but, have had no luck .. I can change the number alright ..

Mike,

Maybe it is better if I just explain to you what the formula means an
you can take it from there.

The formula entered in cell C2, *-=if(A1="","",20*A1)-* is interprete
as follows:

1. If Cell A1 is blank, THEN Cell C2 is also a blank
2. ELSE (or otherwise) Cell C2 will have a value of "*20 multiplied b
whatever number is in Cell A1."*
