Hour and minute

[Guest]

Hello:
I have some data like 415, 537, 2012...
Which function I can use to convert this number to hh:mm format, e.g. 4:15,
5:37 and 20:12?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am having a similar problem. I entered my time in column 'C'
starting row '4'. I entered them as a number with 2 decimal places,
eg...18.12 ...want it to be 18:12. When I change the formatting to
'time', it thinks it's a serial date.
My question is...where do I enter the formula to change my numbers to
TIME?
Thanks

You enter Bob's formula in whatever cell it is that you want to see the time
that corresponds to the entry in cell A1.

I'm still confused. I want to be able to enter the hour and minutes (e.g.
534) and have the format be hours and minutes (e.g. 5:34). This formatting
would apply to a column. Help!

Thanks!

You need code for that, how else would excel know that 530 is a time and not
the number 530?

have code that you can adapt

Thank you for your response. I'll need to give this information to my IT
person. I was under the impression that if you formatted a cell using
Format/Cell/Number/Time, it would format the number entered in the chosen
style. So based on your response, the Format function is useless for this.

Yes you cannot use formatting to change something from 530 into something
that is 0.229166666666667

one day is 1 in Excel, meaning that one hour is 1/24 thus 5:30 thus 5.5 x
(1/24) while 530 is 12720 hours
formatting will only change the display of something and since you don't use
the colon to show excel it is a time when you enter it you would need code
that will insert the colon for you at the moment you press enter

I need to add a colon to military time. I don't want am/pm to show. Only
change for example 1730 to 17:30. How do I do this?
