Use a custom number format of 0000. Note, however, that the true underlying
value of the cell will still be 300 even though it is *displayed* as 0300. Biff "rutherford" wrote in message ... i am trying to type military time, but when i enter 0000, excel changes it to 0. when i type 0300, excel changes it to 300. how can i make excel accept what i type as is? |

Enter it as 00:00 or 03:00.
