Hour format
I'm trying to format cells in excel 2007 with the hh:mm format and keep
getting a date / time show in the function line and the wrong time in the cell. e.g. format cell - time - custom - hh:mm type in 12.15 and cell shows 03.36 function line shows 12/01/1900 03:36:00AM Never had this before and used this format option many times. Any help greatly appreciated |

Hour format
Hi tafexpert,
You need to input 12:15, not 12.15. The custom format only affects the way the data are displayed. You still need to input the time in a valid time format.
