MS Office Forum / Excel / Programming / May 2008Correcting time input by users
I have a worksheet where employees will be entering in times. I do caculations based on these times and I would like a way so if the user enters inthe time like "10:00pm" that excel will correct it to display "10:00 pm". Is there a way to check for this? Would something like this do what you want?: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) If Intersect(Target, Range("F:F")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If IsNumeric(Target) Then Exit Sub If Right(UCase(Target.Value), 2) = "AM" Then _ Target.Value = Left(Target.Value, Len(Target.Value) - 2) & " AM" If Right(UCase(Target.Value), 2) = "PM" Then _ Target.Value = Left(Target.Value, Len(Target.Value) - 2) & " PM" End Sub It also works for just 10pm  SignatureHTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings sandymann2@mailinator.com Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk >I have a worksheet where employees will be entering in times.

Better make that: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) If Intersect(Target, Range("F:F")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If IsNumeric(Target) Then Exit Sub On Error GoTo GetOut Application.EnableEvents = False If Right(UCase(Target.Value), 2) = "AM" Then _ Target.Value = Left(Target.Value, Len(Target.Value) - 2) & " AM" If Right(UCase(Target.Value), 2) = "PM" Then _ Target.Value = Left(Target.Value, Len(Target.Value) - 2) & " PM" GetOut: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub SignatureHTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings sandymann2@mailinator.com Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk >I have a worksheet where employees will be entering in times.

That is perfect. Thanks so much > Better make that: > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > pm". > > Is there a way to check for this? Glad that it worked for you, thanks for the feedback.

Target.Value = CDate(Target.Value) and it will successfully handle 10:00p and 10:00a also. Of course, it returns the seconds as well, but the cell can be Custom Formatted to handle that; or we could just do it in code... Target.Value = Replace(CDate(Target.Value), ":00 ", " ") Rick Also, in thinking about it, instead of this test... > If IsNumeric(Target) Then Exit Sub maybe this one would be more robust... If Not IsDate(Target.Value) Then Exit Sub Rick >> If Right(UCase(Target.Value), 2) = "AM" Then _ >> Target.Value = Left(Target.Value, Len(Target.Value) - 2) & " [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Rick Very good Rick. My XL97 doesn't like Replace being used like that but something to remember when I become posh. <g> SignatureSandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings sandymann2@mailinator.com Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk > Also, in thinking about it, instead of this test... > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> >> Rick But the CDate worked in XL97, right? As for the Replace function, you might be able to use one of the VB coded functions on this page to duplicate the Replace function's capabilities... http://www.xbeat.net/vbspeed/c_Replace.htm You can find other VB coded functions for the other newer String functions under the VB6 to VB5 column on this webpage... http://www.xbeat.net/vbspeed/ Rick > Very good Rick.

Thanks for the links, I will check them out.
