Converting Time 1

I am using Excel from Office 2000 Pro and would like to know how to convert time written as 1:30 (1 hr. 30 min) into hundredths (1.50). At work when I enter a start time & an end time there is a formula that calculates the time as in the example above. I am then required to convert that time into hundreths & enter it in the column next to it. Why they don't have it convert automatically is beyond me. I am forced to manually use a conversion table & re-enter the time in hundredths. Isn't there a simple conversion formula I can enter in the adjacent column where I have to enter this time in hundredths? The report I submit is actually on my PC & saved on my PC so why can't I put a formula on my PC in the application so I don't have to use a conversion chart? Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Bob
 
Bob,

Use this formula, which references Column A. But of course you can use it in whatever column you require - by just changing the column.

=(A1-INT(A1))*24

I hope this helps. Please advise as to how it fits.
