How can I enter a 4 in a cell & have it return 4:00 PM in Excel?
I'm trying to make a simple work schedule in excel indicating only the
starting times of several employees. I would like to be able to simply type in a single digit such as a 4 and have it return the time as 4:00 PM or maybe 2 digits such as 63 and have it return 6:30 PM. Excel does this quite well & quite simply with currency; I can type a 4 and get a $4.00 as a result. My schedule is very simple; the employees' names are listed in column A, the days of the week are the headings for columns B-H. All I have to do is enter the starting times in the empty cells. Thank You |

Its' rather different to enter 4 where the format is currency and get it to
return $4.00 since 4:00 PM is not the same as 4 whereas the 4 in $4.00 is the same underlying value. 4:00 PM is the same as 16/24 so you could always enter it as =16/24. If you want the value 04:00 PM you would need to use an event macro that converts it to 04:00 PM http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DateTimeEntry.htm -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "jafco" wrote in message ...
