Default limit on [h]:mm time format?

As reported elsewhere, that is 31st December 9999 23:59.

[h]:mm is a number format. It does not have the limit you specify.


The display limit in XL97 seems to be 71003183:59

Which is of no interest to anyone other than the de Havilland Tiger Moth
that I learned to fly in <g

500
in a cell and format it as [h]:mm. What does have a limit is an entry
like

10000:00

then as you say, it is not interpreted as a time value. This isn't
changeable.

Hi All,

[h]:mm time format seems to work only up to 9999 hours, XL2003 doesn't
handle 10000 hours as time, 10000:00 remains text. Is this an
unchangeable
limit?

Thanks,
Stefi
