CONVERT function for Excel 2003
I was trying to format time in decimals to days:hours:mins format. While
using microsoft excel 2003 help, they said to use CONVERT funtion for the same. But there isnt any CONVERT funtion in the Inset menufuntions, in excel 2003. I tried for the same on Excel 2003 installed in other computers as well to confirm, but they didnt have it either. Could anyone explain why? And how could I install the CONVERT funtion on to my Excel 2003? |
