Calculating cost of time
I current have a worksheet in which I need to calculate the cost of phone calls based on their duration. In Column A I have a list of call durations in a hh:mm:ss format. In column B I have the cost per minute rate i.e. £0.10.
(These rates vary throughout the spreadsheet based on whether the call was local, national, international etc) How can I calculate the cost of each call?
In addition, I need to calculate them on a per second basis.
I know that a call that lasts 00:01:00 = 10p and that if the call lasts 00:00:30 = 5p but how do I calculate it on an Excel 2010 spreadsheet?? Please help!
RE: Calculating cost of time
Hi Elaine
Thanks for getting in touch. This should be fairly straightforward with perhaps a VLOOKUP and maybe dividing by sixty to get seconds. Would you be able to provide a dozen or so lines of the data to make sure my advice is accurate?
Feel free to paste it into your reply, of course you should delete the actual numbers called.
Kind regards
