0100 (24 hour) time - Which format??

[MikeR-Oz]

Hi,

I wish to type in the cells 0100, 0200, 0300 etc but cannot see the format
type that retains these numbers as four digits (allows me to go to 2400) .

Which format is it - I have tried several and it drops the first zero(0) off.

Cheers
Mike

You need to custom format the col as: hh:mm
then enter the times with a colon, eg: 00:00

YOur a good lad Max, I appreciate the support.

I did try that format but wanted to be lazy and had hoped I would not have
to add in the colon).

Cheers
