Calculating Times in Numbers

I want to convert times such as 08:30 into decimals like 8.5. But it seems Numbers cannot calculate this. In Excel I simply would add a formula "a5*24".

Can it be done?

I guessing you are referring not to a point in time (Date & Time) but to elapsed time (Duration).


Numbers has a DUR2HOURS function that converts a Duration to its decimal equivalent.


So if you have a Duration in cell A5 then =DUR2HOURS(A5) will give you the equivalent in decimal hours.
