Problem with Time Addition
I have times imported into excel from my handheld. The times are put into
the handheld as 13:30 for 1:30PM. After inputing 13:30m 1:30PM automatically shows up in the appropriate cell. After synchronizing to a spreadsheet on my desktop I can't subtract one time from another. I get the result #VALUE!. I have tried changing the formatting of the appropriate cell, butthis does not help. TIA |

Problem with Time Addition
The problem must be with the synchronization.
What value shows up in the spreadsheet after the sync? You say you are trying to subtract one time from another, so give us the formula you are using and the values in each of the cells. -- Regards, Fred "Steve M" wrote in message ...

Problem with Time Addition
Sorry--in the spreadsheet on the handheld palm device, we enter "13:30" in
order for it to return the value "1:30PM." In others words--this is similar to inputing the time in military time, except that we have to add the colon. When we select done, the value automatically changes to 1:30PM on the handheld device. After synchronized to the destop file, it shows up as "1:30PM."

The time that shows up in the desktop files would be something like
"1:30PM." Assume the beginning time was "7:20AM," and the ending time was in cell B11 and the beginning time in cell B9. I would use the formula B11-B9 or SUM(B11-B9).
