For example, to convert hours to seconds, enter the formula = A2 * 3600, and then drag the fill handle to the cells to get the results you need, see the image below:

If you want to convert seconds to hours, just enter this formula:

= A2 / 3600

Note: Convert between hours and minutes, day:

Convert hours to minutes	= A2 * 60
Convert minutes to hours	= A2 / 60
Convert hours to days	= A2 / 24
Convert day to hour	= A2 * 24

= CONVERT (A2, ”sec”, “hr”)
