Is there a way to extract (copy) a particular portion of a cell's contents
where the cell's number format is dd:hh:mm?
For instance, 04:09:12 indicates 4 days, 9 hours and 12 minutes. I would
like to extract the days, hours, and minutes separately and copy them to
three separate cells.

If 04:09:12 is in text then
=MID(A1,1,2)*1=MID(A1,4,2)*1=MID(A1,7,2)*1
will give you day, hours, and minutes
