the “format cell” solution that you have enlightened everyone with, is definitely more intelligent, even for it’s lack of complexity, than the clever function that was originally supplied. Dude, the simplicity made my day.

In response to this comment:
Actually I was totally wrong. The “correct way” to do this is to
1. convert the seconds into fractions of days (Excel thinks of time spans as fractions of a day… goodness knows why)
2. format the column to display mm:ss

=A1/(24*60*60) (Converting seconds into days)

It has an extra unnecessary *60.
Just do A1/(24*60), and format by mm:ss, and it works. Hurrah!!! Thank you so much for this!
