If you want to include &quot;s&quot; at the end of that value:<br />
=(LEFT(A1,FIND(&quot;m&quot;,A1)-1)*<wbr />60)+MID(A1<wbr />,FIND(&quot;m&quot;,<wbr />A1)+1,FIND<wbr />(&quot;s&quot;,A1)-F<wbr />IND(&quot;m&quot;,A1<wbr />)-1) &amp;&nbsp;&quot; s&quot;
</div>


If you want to include "s" at the end of that value:
=(LEFT(A1,FIND("m",A1)-1)*60)+MID(A1,FIND("m",A1)+1,FIND("s",A1)-FIND("m",A1)-1) & " s"

Thanks, that's great. I honestly didn't think anyone was going to respond as I thought it was such a silly request. <br />
Thanks again.

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Can tell me if its possible to convert the items in cells (in the attached spreadsheet) to numbers? Let me explain.<br />
<br />
Each cell contains the minutes and seconds for my vodafone bill. I would like help converting the minutes and seconds into just seconds. So far example you'll see in cell A54, 19m 13s. I would like that converted to 1153 seconds.<br />
<br />
If it makes it easier for you to help me I don't need the letter s (seconds) after the conversion.<br />
<br />
As always experts, I appreciate your help<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
<br />
Carlton<br />
