formatting time cell
I have a time sheet that calculates time worked. I have the input cells for
the time in, lunch out, etc. They are all formatted Time - 1:30PM. The calculations fail if I enter 8:00AM but if I enter 8:00:00AM the calculations are correct. How do I format the cells so that I don't have to enter the seconds? oldjay |

formatting time cell
When entering time, I type simply the 8 and the colon and press enter, and
it's in there as 8am. I do have to enter afternoon times militarily though, as in 13 colon 30 for 1:30pm, but it saves a lot of entry time. "Oldjay" wrote...
