Formating 24hr Clock, but not as time!!
I have a column in my worksheet that users enter their start time in 24hr
clock (military time) e.g. 1830 or 0700 If I format the column using any of the time formats, I get various results since Excel treats the entry as a value and converts this into a time (never really understood this). However, I don't need to do any calucalution with these times; it's effectively just there as text. So when users enter 1830 it stays as 1830. So far so good. However if they enter something with a preceeding 0, such as 0630, Excel removes the first zero and it becomes 630. In a list of 24hr times this looks odd and will confuse people. So any suggestions? I just want users to enter 24hr times and for them to be formated as such (as text or otherwise!) Cheers. |
