Excel Macros are very powerful, but can be dangerous. Never execute macros from an untrusted source or that you have not reviewed the code! This is page is intended for the technically proficient ;}

1 Installation

These instructions for installing on Excel 2007.

  1. Open Excel
  2. If you don’t see a tab marked ‘developer’
    1. Click on the round ‘window’ button in the very top left of the Excel window and select ‘Excel Options’
    2. Click on the ‘Popular’ tab
    3. Select the check box ‘Show developer tab in the Ribbon’
    4. Click OK
  3. Click on the developer tab in the ribbon
  4. Click on the ‘Visual Basic’ button
  5. Paste the macro shown below into the text window
  6. Click on File, then ‘Close and return to Microsoft Excel’

2 Usage

Excel will interpret a pace as a time by default, so entering 7:40 will become 7:40:00 AM, which will mess things up. Enter any paces with a preceding quotation mark such as ‘7:40 to make it textual. To convert a pace to the number of seconds use =HMS2S(cell), such as =HMS2S(B1). To convert seconds to a pace use S2MS for minutes:seconds, or S2HMS for hours:minutes:seconds. If you wanted to add five seconds per mile, use =S2MS(HMS2S(b1)+5)

3 The Macros

Function S2HMS(TotalSeconds)
   Dim Hours As Long
   Dim minutes As Long
   Dim Seconds As Long
   Seconds = TotalSeconds
   
   Hours = Seconds / (60 * 60)
   If Hours > Seconds / (60 * 60) Then
       Hours = Hours - 1
   End If
   Seconds = Seconds - (Hours * (60 * 60))
   
   minutes = Seconds / (60)
   If minutes > Seconds / (60) Then
       minutes = minutes - 1
   End If
   Seconds = Seconds - (minutes * (60))
   
   S2HMS = Format(Hours) + ":" + Format(minutes, "00") + ":" + Format(Seconds, "00")
   
End Function
Function S2MS(TotalSeconds)
   Dim minutes As Integer
   Dim Seconds As Integer
   Seconds = TotalSeconds
   
   minutes = Seconds / (60)
   If minutes > Seconds / (60) Then
       minutes = minutes - 1
   End If
   Seconds = Seconds - (minutes * (60))
   
   S2MS = Format(minutes) + ":" + Format(Seconds, "00")
   
End Function
Function S2MST(TotalSeconds)
   Dim Hours As Integer
   Dim minutes As Integer
   Dim Seconds As Integer
   Seconds = TotalSeconds
   
   Hours = Seconds / (60 * 60)
   If Hours > Seconds / (60 * 60) Then
       Hours = Hours - 1
   End If
   Seconds = Seconds - (Hours * (60 * 60))
   
   minutes = Seconds / (60)
   If minutes > Seconds / (60) Then
       minutes = minutes - 1
   End If
   Seconds = Seconds - (minutes * (60))
   
   If Hours = 0 Then
       S2MST = Format(minutes) + " " + Format(Seconds, "00")
   ElseIf Hours = 1 Then
       S2MST = Format(minutes) + "." + Format(Seconds, "00")
   ElseIf Hours = 2 Then
       S2MST = Format(minutes) + ":" + Format(Seconds, "00")
   Else
       S2MST = Format(minutes) + "+" + Format(Seconds, "00")
   End If
End Function
Function HMS2S(HMSStr)
   Dim TimeParts() As String
   TimeParts = Split(HMSStr.Text, ":")
   Dim Hours As Long
   Dim minutes As Long
   Dim Seconds As Long
   Dim Offset As Long
   Offset = 0
   Hours = 0
   
   If UBound(TimeParts) > 1 Then
       Hours = TimeParts(0)
       Offset = 1
   End If
   
   minutes = TimeParts(Offset)
   Seconds = TimeParts(Offset + 1)
   HMS2S = (Hours * 60 * 60) + (minutes * 60) + Seconds
       
End Function
Function PaceToMPH(PaceStr)
   Dim PaceParts() As String
   PaceParts = Split(PaceStr.Text, ":", 2)
   Dim minutes As Integer
   Dim Seconds As Integer
   Dim mph As Double
   Dim Pace As Double
   
   minutes = PaceParts(0)
   Seconds = PaceParts(1)
   Pace = minutes * 60 + Seconds
   mph = 60 * 60 * (1 / Pace)
   PaceToMPH = mph
       
End Function
