How to track timings in MS Excel?

Asked by robmandu (21331points) January 12th, 2009

For example, if I open a plain jane worksheet and enter “1:10:25.003”—1 hour, 10 minutes, 25.003 seconds—Excel will auto-convert that to a time of day where it shows “10:25.0” in the cell, but “1:10:25 AM” in the formula field. Yuck!

I don’t see any numeric formats that look like they’ll do what I want.

I can lead off the cell with a single quote… but then that makes Excel treat the content as character instead of numeric. I’m hoping for something more elegant.

What do you suggest?

Using Fluther

or

Using Email

Separate multiple emails with commas.
