If you want to convert a constant, use

="00:02:17"*24*60*60

my english sucks :P

so I have in A1 cell this time expresion 00:02:17 and I want to convert it in seconds ...
I know to transform seconds in hh:mm:ss format .. and i knew that if I want to transform HH:mm:ss time format in seconds I must multiply with 24*60*60 ... but 00:02:10 * 24*60*60 = #value!#

so can u say me what means N in ur formula ... or use the attach

thanks !

You have spaces in the A1 in front of the time value, that is what is causing the problem.

Try

=N(TRIM(A1)*24*60*60)
