Time format conversion
Hi, I want to manipulate data that is in the form of "5m 13s" (the part in the quotations). It is a duration. I want to be able to convert to a decimal number (so 5m 13s = 5.22 minutes). Is that possible? What kind of formula should I employ? Thanks,
Kyle

following is a solution to a bit more generalized problem where the time string may consist of any of hours, minutes, and seconds, and in any order as shown in the illustration
