Converting seconds into hours, minutes and seconds in Excel

To convert a number of seconds into a more conventional hours, minutes and seconds time format in Excel, follow these two simple steps:

1) Divide the number by (24*60*60), so if the number is in cell A1, put in a calculation which says =A1/(24*60*60).

2) Then choose the required time format from Format, Cells, Number.
