Hi! I think my question is pretty simple but I still struggle to solve it:( So, I am calculating the experimental data in my beta-galactosidase assay. I have one column (say, ColB), which has the time format (mm:ss). ColumnC has some numerical values (optical density of samples at 420nm). For estimating the activity I have to do the division procedure: ColC/ColB. But whenever I am doing that - I am getting some weird numbers (f.ex. 0,436 / 24:45 - the result is 25.3673)...
- Could you tell me, please, what can be wrong?
- Or, as alternative, is there any simple way for converting my original time format (mm:ss) into secunds only?
Sincerely,
Ilya
