timed events
Hi
I have a series of timed events (races to one hundreth of a second) that need to be tracked by event (worksheet) then all total times for teams averaged. Right now, excel insists on translating the times into dates, so I can't add times, let alone average them. I can't find the settings to allow it to take time as a spam measurement rather than a date. Help! |

timed events
H1,
Right click on the cell and select Format Cells... Under the Number tab select Custom, and choose a time format such as h:mm:ss. That should do the trick.

timed events
thanks, but I tried that - the formula bar still shows it as a date value,
rather than a span of time. When I sum the times, if the other values are set to zero, it still counts it as 1, as in a full day. Maybe thats why I'm having trouble with so simple an item, what is supposed to work just doesn't! Now I'm wondering if perhpas there is a background sheet format or something...
