getting military time format within excel

[Guest]

is there a way to get military time format in excel?

 

[Barb Reinhardt]

Sure there is. Use FORMAT -> CELLS -> TIME and select the military time
format you want.

You can Custom format a cell as hhmm, so it will show 2250. However, you
still cannot enter it as 2250; you'll have to enter 22:50
If you want to avoid that, see

If you're not looking to use code, an old trick is to use "AutoCorrect".

<Tools> <AutoCorrect>
In "Replace", enter " .. " (2 periods / decimals) - (no quotes),
In the "With" box, enter the colon " : " (no quotes).

You'll find that this is extremely easy for entering times, especially if
you're versed in ten key.
