cell assumes wrong date
I want to format a cell for time. I want to type "0830" in a cell and have it
show 8:30 AM. So I format the cell accordingly. But when I type 0830 in the cell I get "12:00 AM", and if I double click into the cell it shows "4/9/1902 12:00:00 AM". What can I do to have it not include a date...just a time? |
You can't unless you use a macro, see:
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DateTimeEntry.htm One day is 1, one hour is 1/24 no formatting can change 830x24 hours into 08:30, you need the above macro Regards, Peo Sjoblom "julie from Seattle" wrote: I want to format a cell for time.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 10:32 PM. |
