Default 0100 (24 hour) time - Which format??

Hi,

I wish to type in the cells 0100, 0200, 0300 etc but cannot see the format
type that retains these numbers as four digits (allows me to go to 2400) .

Which format is it - I have tried several and it drops the first zero(0) off.

Cheers
Mike

You need to custom format the col as: hh:mm
then enter the times with a colon, eg: 00:00

YOur a good lad Max, I appreciate the support.

I did try that format but wanted to be lazy and had hoped I would not have
to add in the colon(.

Cheers
Mike

.. wanted to be lazy .. would not have to add in the colon(

well, laziness has its price ..

Go to Chip's page at:
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DateTimeEntry.htm

1. Install Chip's 2nd sub on the page
2. Custom format the input range (A1:A10) as: hh:mm
and you' ready to roll ..

... and if you feel like it, press the "Yes" button below
