Recommended Posts

i feel like a frigging idiot here...trying to create a spreadsheet to track my son's swim times. I am formatting some columns as 'general' so i can do <seconds:hundreths of seconds>. 2 of the columns are working fine, the 3rd keeps chaning formats on me.....damn it is frustrating the hell out of me because i know i am missing a really basic step.....HELPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

Pooj, where do you all swim. My kids are on the RCC team in JRAC, and also NOVA in the winter. Your son swimming either NOVA or Poseidon?

Pooj ... it's not you ... I know what you're talking about it ... I just recently starting seeing that happen in Excel 2003 ... sucks and is aggravating. I have no idea why ... It always to change formulas to "text" format, so you have to reset the format to general, then hit "F2" and enter to reset.

Your son swimming Poseidon?

That must be quite an adventure, especially the morning after.

trying that....it keeps changing the format to read it as if it is a date....55:81 translates to January 3, 2009 3:58 or something like that.....it is killing me :devil:

 

Go under Format Cells:Number:Custom and choose mm:ss

 

That should get you what you need.
