Excel expects dates and times to be stored as a floating point number whose value depends on the Date1904 setting of the workbook, plus a number format such as "mm/dd/yyyy" or "hh:mm:ss" or "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" so that the number is displayed to the user as a date / time.
Yes I did. So I tried copying the column with the formula/results and pasting into a new column, VALUES only. Then set the format nothing. I tried like 20 other similar things with the same results. At then end, I copy the formula column, paste into a txt file, copy from the txt file and pasted into excel. Then set formatting an voila.
You can easily do this with the normal "Time" data type - just change the format! Excels time/date format is simply 1.0 equals 1 full day (starting on 1/1/1900). So 36 hours would be 1.5. If you change the format to [h]:mm, you'll see 36:00. Therefore, if you want to work with durations, you can simply use subtraction, e.g.
I have a device which outputs the time in the format hh:mm:ss.000, e.g., 00:04:58.727 and I need to convert these to milliseconds. I can't change the way the device outputs the times so I have to do it in Excel, but I don't know VB so am looking for a cell-by-cell solution.
Entering time inside the formula presents problems due to the formatting as the colon will make the formula think you want to do something else and quotes will change the format to text. Here's a formula that works: D1=IF(AND(C1>A1,C1<B1),3,0) where A1 is your start time, B1 is your end time, C1 is whatever time you are testing.
Excel shows it in this format: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm. e.g. 2020-05-22 16:40:55 shows as 22/05/2020 16:40. This is evidently determined by the Short date and Short time format selected in Windows; for example, if I change the Short date format in Windows to yyyy-mm-dd, Excel shows 2020-05-22 16:40.
Suppose I have a file called Time.txt with a single column of times as follows:. 22:13 09:25 12:20 I would like to read them into an excel s/sheet and place them in Range A1 to A3 and format them as hh:mm:ss.
Format the cell; right-click in the required cell and select 'Format Cells' On the Number tab select the category 'Custom'. It is likely that the format for the time is hh:mm. In the 'Type;' box change this to h:mm and then click OK. I hope that does the trick.
The problem is I cannot get Excel to see the times as times. I really don't care whether or not the colon is visible as a separator between the hours and minutes, I just need Excel to recognise the hours and minutes. But when I select "Format Cells" > "Time" it alters the result. For example, 1045 should be read as 10:45.
Very similar solution as given above by Axel Richter is shown in support article Add or subtract time by Microsoft. Basically it boils down to using custom format of [h]:mm;@. However I am not sure, what the exact difference to [hh]:mm:ss (or more precisely to [hh]:mm) is - if at all? A quick check in Excel did not reveal any differences to me.
