Hi Karim

You cannot record the time automatically using formulas. You will have to
use VBA- worksheet/workbook events...

hi
there is no formula that will display the time that is not volital meaning
that it is keyed to the system clock and will update to the current time each
time the sheet calculates formulas.
the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + : will insert the current time(system
clock) into a selected cell but that is a manual process.
if that is not what you want, vb is about all that is left.

If starting time is 3:20:35pm use the formula, =TIME(15,20,35)
and custom format the cell h:mm:ss AM/PM. Excel uses military time.

Another way. Use =NOW() to capture the starting/ending time. Then copy that
cell and paste itself as a value to freeze it and delete the date in front.

Another possibility if you are comfortable with Circular References:

In B1:

=IF(A1="",NOW(),B1)

Press F9 to force a re-calculation before entering data in A1, once data is
entered in A1 whatever was in B1 will stay there.

Just to add...

When I want to include the date and time in the cell, I use:

ctrl-;(spacecharacter)ctrl-:
