Default Increment formula for time


Ltat42a Wrote:
Can a formula be used to increment times in a cell?

A2 = 08/02/2006 2:00pm
A3 = same date + 3 hrs (5pm)
A4 = same date + 3 hrs (8pm)
A5 = same date + 3 hrs (11pm)
A6 = 08/03/2006 2:00am
etc
etc
etc


Thanx

Hi Ltat42a,

Try something like this

Enter date in A2 in 24hour format

08/02/2006 14:00

In cell B1 type 3:00 (represents 3 hours and will automatically format
to time)

In A3 type formula

=A2 + $B$1

Copy this down, date will increment by 3 hours
