Default no leading zero for minutes and seconds

Is there a format to display minutes and seconds without the leading zero?
For example, display one minute and thirty three seconds as 1:33 instead of
01:33?

Best,
Christopher

Hi,

This is highly suspect, but it is what you asked for, literally speaking:

m:s

Choose Format, Cells, Number tab, Custom and enter the above on the Type
line. The trouble is that most viewers are probably going to have a problem
with
1:1 meaning 1 minute and 1 second. The more typical display is suggested by
the two previous responses 1:01.

m:ss

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Apply a custom format to the cell of:

m:ss

or, if you dont want those minutes to show hours if above 60, then you
could use this:

[m]:ss

Hope this helps.
