Default Forcing the display of new custom formatting

Hi,

It sounds like the cells were formatted at text when you entered the
original dates. Select an empty cell and copy it. Select all the "bad"
dates and choose Edit, Paste Special, Add. You will probably need to apply
the custom format to the resulting cells.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,

I have custom formated several cells to hhmm. Unfortunately, all the times
have remained unchanged. They will convert to the wanted format if I
double-click on the cell or hit F2 and enter. This is fine if there are only
a few cells, but I have hundreds...

Is there a way to force all the cells to convert?
