I am trying to work on a spreadsheet for work where I am keeping
track of time by hours, minutes and seconds. I format the cells for
hh:mm:ss.00 but each time I enter the hours, seconds, minutes, it
converts to a date field and changes to another hh:mm:ss value. The
value I have entered is 42:37:26


Hi Brian,

try to format with Custom format. Menu Format, Cells, Number tab, under
Categories choose Custom, then type this format string in the text box:

[h]:mm:ss.00

translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
