Entering in Minutes and Seconds
Hi all
I have formatted the cell from the Custom in cells to MM:SS. But it does not appear to be the correct way as the results are not correct when I enter them Hope you can help Stew |

Suppose you want to put 45:00 in the cell - you need to enter it
EITHER as 0:45:00 OR as 45:00.0 (i.e. with a leading 0: to indicate zero hours, or with a trailing .0 to indicate zero fractions of a second). If you just enter 45:00 then Excel will assume this means 45:00:00, which is not what you want. Hope this helps.
