Default time serial number

Thanks! I tried your suggestion. The format comes out as h:mm but it shows
as 0:00.

In case it's relevant, in the data tab I use this formula for the cell:
=TEXT(Q7002/86400,CHOOSE(MATCH(Q7002,{0,60,3600},1),":ss","m:s s","[h]:mm:ss"))

It returns the correct result on the data tab but this result is not pulling
through to the pivot tab.

Hi,
I need to only show time as time... for example someone worked on a
specific
project for a certain length of time. I've created a pivot table in
excel.
On the data tab I have some numbers which are formatted as hours:min:sec
(for
example - 3:45:20 = 3 hours, 45 mins, 20 sec.). How do I get that stat to
go
over to the pivot table correctly? When I update to the pivot table I
only
get 0s. I've tried different formats and nothing seems to work.

I'd appreciate any help in fixing this... thanks,
~kristina

You could use helper columns with formulae of

=INT(A1)

I have a long spread sheet that has two columns of dates (Received and
Finished) that I am importing into a pivot table and would like to use
the
dates in my pivot, less the time. For daily use, I do use the time
with
the
date, but only
want the date for use in the pivot table. How can I eliminate the time
serial number, before importing into my pivot, apart from editing each
individual cell?
