Am trying to apply conditional formatting to columns of times. The numbers
are in 24-hour clock format - 00:15:23.
I would like to bold the times that are less than 15 minutes.
Entering in 00:15:00 as the"less than" amount hasn't work. When i do it
anyway.

Thanks for all advice.

Hi,

Set Conditional Formatting like this ,
Formula is, =IF(MINUTE(D28)<15,TRUE,FALSE)

See Biff's answer. Comparison on the Minute component will not work because
it will only show 5 minutes for 15:05:30 (15 hours + 5 minues +30 seconds).
and that number certainly exceeds 15 minutes.

for more information on Date and Time see
