Forum rules

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I'm working on an Excel worksheet and I would like to know how to convert decimal values of an hour to minutes. Is there a formula I can use? example how many minutes in 0.17 of an hour.

Thanks

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 0.17 of an hour is equal to 0.17*60 = 10.2 minutes.

You can also use time conversion page of our site to make such conversions.
