Excel Format Question -- CC:SS treated as time HH:mm
I have in one column 01:01; ... 25:99 etc referring to Bible
Chapter : Section's . Excel is treating the column as Time HH:mm; converting some of the cells: a) some - - HH:mm:00 b) some - - 0.YYYYYYY When I tried to convert the CC:SS into text, all becoming 0.YYYYYYY etc. Wondering how can I keep the CC:SS format without being mixed with HH:mm? |

Format the cells as text *before* you enter the data.

Another approach to avoid typing in the colons(:) is to use FormatCustom
then "0"#":"###, whcih would produce a leading zero if not needed skip it. you would enter 1225 and screen would show 01:225 "David Biddulph" wrote: Format the cells as text *before* you enter the data. -- David Biddulph "1clncc" wrote in message oups.com...
