default time to PM after 12:00 pm
Currently Excel defaults to AM when entering a time. Does anyone know if I
can make default to PM when entering a time I know should be after 12:00pm? I can't figure out how I can let Excel know I mean 1:00 PM rather than 1:00 AM without typing in the PM. |

Thanks Mike. I'm concerned about the users entering military time.

I don't know how to change the default...
You can however type 1 P to get 1:00 PM or type 13:00? or you can enter the values in a helper column and have a formula adding 12 hours in your main column...

Hi,
You have 2 choices military time or AM/PM. If you simply enter 01:00 without an AM/PM qualification then Excel can't know what you mean so will assume AM Mike Mike "default time to PM after 12:00 pm" wrote: Thanks Mike.
