Sorting time formats
 
Hi, I have 1 column of call waiting times in the 00:00:00 format. When I use
the Custom filter it is not bringing up entries. I have a column heading
name above my list and their are no blank rows.
For example, if I want to sort all call waiting times that are over 4 secs,
I turn on the AutoFilter on that column heading, select the Greater Than or
Equal to option and select a cell that equals my criteria e.g. 00:00:04

This is the first time I'm sorting on time formats, does Excel not recognise
this format in sorting?? I'm using V 2003.

You should be able to enter 00:00:04 directly into the criteria box,
or use the pull-down to select the value. Excel should be able to
filter these values, unless they are really text values that just
happen to look like time values.

Hope this helps.
