Time format shows default of 12:00 AM
I didn't see anything like this problem in the community questions. I
downloaded the "timecard with breaks" template from the MS site. The time-in and time-out cells are formatted to hh:mm AM/PM. The contents show blank until a time is entered. I added a summary schedule worksheet where I formatted the time-in and time-out cells also to hh:mm AM/PM. I point to each of these cells on the different timecard sheets (ex Sammy!E11). When there is nothing in the individual cells, the summary cells show 12:00 AM instead of blank. I don't understand why this would be, and don't know how to fix it. I appreciate any suggestions as to how to fix this. Thanks. -- Helene |

Instead of always picking up the value from the time sheet, first test for a
blank input cell. That is, =IF(ISBLANK(Sammy!E11),"",Sammy!E11) "Helene" wrote: I didn't see anything like this problem in the community questions.

Time format shows default of 12:00 AM
Hi!
bpeltzer explained how to correct the problem, as to why it's happening....... If you link to any empty cell the result will be 0. Since you have preformatted the cells as TIME they will display 12:00 AM because 12:00 AM is the TIME formatted equivalent of 0. Biff "Helene" wrote in message ...

Time format shows default of 12:00 AM
Following up on the suggestion, using your recommendation "
=IF(ISBLANK(Sammy!E11),"",Sammy!E11)", and I got an error message "Please use the following format for entering time 12:00 AM". I have formatted both cells for time. Any suggestions why this error message is popping up? Thanks for any help. "bpeltzer" wrote: Instead of always picking up the value from the time sheet, first test for a blank input cell.
