Entering Times Without A Colon
Oct 20, 2009
I need to find a way to enter times into excel without having to use a colon.
The data I need in the cell is the hour, the minute, and either AM or PM. No seconds, which I believe is why Chip Pearson’s time VBA procedure doesn’t work for me, and I don’t know enough about VBA to change it for my needs.
So for example, I need to enter in times like 10:09 PM or 12:40 AM or 2:33 AM.
All my times will be entered into Column D.
I have done a ton of searching and tried several different solutions, but none of them allow me to put in AM or PM. If I just put 1009 into a cell with Chip Pearson’s macro, it will display as 10:09 AM, which is great if I need it to be AM. But if I need it to be PM, and I enter in “1009 p”, it will display as “1009 p”, neglecting the colon and not displaying the time correctly.
Does anyone have a solution where I can type in a 3 or 4 digit number (233 or 1240) and either “a” or “p” after it, and have it display as 2:33 PM or 12:40 AM?
I use Excel 2007, if it matters.

I found the following formula on another site that deletes all the text before the last colon (it deletes the colon as well)
=TRIM(RIGHT(M2,LEN(M2)-SEARCH("@#",SUBSTITUTE(M2,":","@#",LEN(M2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(M2,":",""))))))
Is it possible to modify it so that it only triggers if there is nothing after the last colon?
As you can see in the example below I have some notes entered by users and I would like to delete the ones where they didn't actually enter a note after the last colon:
11/05/2012 13:19:53 NEW MIKE : cld poe male sd cu not in till 3pm
10/18/2012 08:03:55 NEW HOSSEN : called no answer
10/15/2012 11:15:41 NEW HOSSEN :
10/12/2012 08:00:26 NEW HOSSEN :
10/11/2012 12:17:14 NEW HOSSEN : called no answer
11/14/2012 13:42:07 ACT MIKE : cld poe spk to cust sd cm back at 330
I would like to be left with just this instead:
11/05/2012 13:19:53 NEW MIKE : cld poe male sd cu not in till 3pm
10/18/2012 08:03:55 NEW HOSSEN : called no answer
10/11/2012 12:17:14 NEW HOSSEN : called no answer
11/14/2012 13:42:07 ACT MIKE : cld poe spk to cust sd cm back at 330

i am a rowing coach and have to enter a lot of splits every day after practice and am hoping to find a way to do it without having to use the : or . keys.
so a split like 1min. 27.5sec, displayed as 1:27.5 could be entered as 1275.
i see that there are some questions already about this but seem to just work with H:M:S and time of day, i tried but wasn't able to use these for my purpose.
another fly in this ointment is that i also enter heart rates on the same sheet so in A1 it would be splits A2 heart rate, A3 split A4 HR.....
i do this for approximately 40 rowers each day with different workouts each day so each worksheet has splits and HR in different rows and columns.

I am a basic excel user and what I want is to be able to add in a time and have the colon automatically entered for me. For example, I want to add 130 and have it come out to 1:30, or 1215 and have it come out to 12:15. Seems easy to me but I cannot figure it out.

I downloaded some data from an extarnal source to excel... the texts I get appear as 'TEXT' (mind the colons at start and end of TEXT).
However, in some of the cells the Start Colon is visible and in some cells it isn't (although it's there and can be viewed in the formula bar).
I want the start colon to be visible.

Replaced the period with a colon, 8.23 resulted in 8:23. I have since deleted the Add In. Now every time I enter a "." it is replaced by a ":". This happens even when I disable macros on the spreadsheet. I cannot see any VBA code.

I am making a template for our security kiosk log and I wanted to simplify it as much as possible. I found the "time mask entry" and imputed that into the vba code. It was working for awhile however stopped working a few days ago. I went back and copied and pasted it again and changed the range to what I needed and an error came up stating "unable to set the NumberFormat property to the range class."
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim vVal
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
With Target
vVal = Format(.Value, "0000")
If IsNumeric(vVal) And Len(vVal) = 4 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Value = Left(vVal, 2) & ":" & Right(vVal, 2)
.NumberFormat = "[h]:mm"
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I have been using the following formula's to trim some information that's separated by a colon, such as Pioneer Clinic:Dave McAfee...so that I have a column with Pioneer Clinic and a column with Dave McAfee:
=LEFT(G5,FIND(":",G5)-1)
=TRIM(RIGHT(G5,LEN(G5)-FIND(":",G5)))
However, now some of my data is separated by two colons! AVM:Pioneer Clinic:Dave McAfee. the formula for separating this so I still have two columns of Pioneer Clinic and Dave McAfee?

I have used the format [hh]:mm in a cell for 24 hr clock calculations. Why do I have to enter the numbers with a colon when I populate the cells? Is there a way to set it up so I just type in the four numbers and the colon between the hours and minutes populates itself?

What is the best way to concatenate with a semi-colon across multiple cells in excel. The one kicker is I only want to concatenate where the cell is populated.
If I write a simple Concatenate or combined columns, if a cell is blank I get the multiple.

Is there a way to format cells so 24 hour time may be input without the colon, as an example 1425 instead or 14:25? We can do it in Access. One would think it possible in Excel, yet I have not discover how if indeed its possible.

Is there a way to enter a colon into a standard number to create a value that can be formatted into a 24 hour time value? eg a time is listed as 1345 with a general number format, and I want it returned as 13:45 witha custom format of hh:mm. Other than creating a table and using a vlookup function

i have encountered a problem which happens when you write data that contain : in an excel sheet (i use excel 2010)
for instance if i enter to one of the cell 45:58 excel sees it as 01/01/1900 21:48:00 when i try to get the information by using a function i will get the wrong data for example typing in the different cell LEFT(Cell,5) will result 1.908
(i receiving the data from an outside source in this way and i need to make analysis)
i have noticed that the first 2 digits (21 in the example) are related to the number i have choosen in a 24 hour cycle for instance
24:58 will result 01/01/1900 00:58:00
26:58 will result 01/01/1900 02:58:00
48:58 will result 02/01/1900 00:58:00

In my workbook I have about 20 sheets (less in the attached sample), and on most sheets I’d like to query data for each day and find an average value based on the time and then copy that result into another sheet. I’m not sure if I’ll need 2 macro’s for this or if one can be used.
Here’s a quick description:
Assuming that I am currently in the sheet I want to run the macro, then I will either input “1:45” or “0:45” into a popup box, or I could always simply input the 1:45 or 0:45 in the code itself. I’m flexible
1:45:
If I input 1:45, then I’d like the macro to find the first 1:45 in Column B and the value in the same row in Column F will be used in the calculation. Once 1:45 is located, then the macro moves up to find 22:45 in Column B and the value in the same row in Column F will be used in the calculation.....

I'm looking for a formula that will calculate the difference in times between specific times while working with a 24 hr clock. Please see details below:
E3 provides the start time of 4:00
H3 provides an end time of 15:30
If an employee works betwen the hours of 0:00 (midnight) to 5:59, this is considered DIFF hours and is therefore the number I am seaking. So for the data noted above, the total DIFF hours worked is 2 hours.

I thought I found a formula that would work, but it's not working. Each month I have to count the number of service tickets that have arrived between certain time ranges. They want to gauge during what times we seem to get the biggest batch of service requests.
6 am to 10 am
10 am to 5 pm
5 pm to 6 pm
6 pm to 6 am
The format of the cells are:
1:21:19 AM
1:28:08 AM
1:35:48 AM
1:49:19 AM
2:17:02 AM
7:14:38 AM
7:29:12 AM
8:08:28 AM
8:51:48 AM
8:54:19 AM
The formula I tried for 10 am to 5 pm: =COUNTIF(B2:B677,">="&TIME(10,0,0))-COUNTIF(B2:B677,">"&TIME(17,0,0))
It gives a result of 676, and I know from manually counting that there is only 327 cells that have a time between 10 am and 5 pm.

I included a spreadsheet that lays out what I am looking to do, basically I copied some times and speed from net. It shows up in non 24 hour format. I need to find the times and an associated speed for each row (day) directly before and after my inputted desired time. I've searched for days, tried different formulas with index,match, lookups,timevalue, time, etc and even tried using other peoples vba code without success.

i need to calculate between time. If a person is working between 8 till 12 and then 1 till 5 i need to count the instances between these times.. so if somebody is working between these hours a 1 should appear and if they have finished their shift or are on lunch then this should change to 0
e.g.
8.00 | 8.30 etc.. 12.30 | 13:00
1 | 1 | 0 | 1

In some of my formulas, I need to re-enter the contents of the cell in order for a formula to compute.
For example, I am doing some math on a cell whose original contents are "10:21:00 AM" The formula returns a #NUM!. If I retype 10:21 in the cell and hit enter, the formula will now calculate properly. I have reformatted the entire column several times so that it is a custom hh:mm format. The original content also shows as time so I don't think that it is a formatting issue.
My worksheet has about 20,000 rows and this only happens for about 100 of the rows. It is pretty time consuming to manually go fix each one. Any ideas what is going on here?

I'm trying to get a formula that will enter a particular value when 2 specific criteria are met. I've been trying to use an =IF(AND( statement, but so far I keep getting a "the formula you typed contains an error" message.
I need to have cell V9 return a value of 8 if the following conditions are met:
Cell D9 = "SG"
Cell H8 of a different workbook (Called Work Schedule) = 3
I would like the value of V9 to change to 12 if:
Cell D9 = "SG"
Cell H8 of 'Work Schedule' = 19
My formula now looks like this:
=IF(AND(D9="SG",'WORK SCHEDULE'!H8=3,8,IF(AND(D9="SG",'WORK SCHEDULE'!H8=19,12,""))))

I'm trying to copy about 10,000 barcode over to a new spreadsheet, the prob is that when I copy them over they appear as XXXX+12 and then when I try and use them it doesn't like it. I can solve it if I format the column to text - and then double click it. This is ok for a hundred or so but fingers start to hurt after that!
