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

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.

Cheers

Thanks. I knew it must be something I was doing wrong but could not figure
it. Thanks again
