I'm doing a schedule for an international radio station and need to
list times in both EST and UTC. UTC is the old Greenwich Mean Time and
is (until Daylight Savings Time on 04/04/04) five hours ahead of EST;
4 pm in Washington is 9 pm in London.
I came up with a formula to convert EST to UTC:
[cell number]-TIMEVALUE("5:00")
and with some formatting in the resulting cell (hhmm] I can have it
read in UTC time, like 0500.
What I can't seem to get is the reverse, UTC to EST. I can reverse the
formula but I have to list the UTC time as 15:00 with the colon, and
format the result cell in AM/PM.
But is there a way to do this so a UTC time entered as 0500 can be
read as an EST time (7:30 PM) ?
Thanks for any suggestions.
