I put a link to a diff in an email to myself so I could find the diff again. For some reason, Hotmail (or at least that's the address, but I'm unsure how to define Outlook.com) puts a photo representing the web site below the URL. In many cases, it's a link to a photo I want to print out later, and the photo itself appears. In this case, for some reason, I got a photo of a female UConn basketball player.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:44, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
I have an Excel spreadsheet that lists time periods. I want them listed, in this format. For example, "4 hours and 38 minutes and 17 seconds" should be listed / formatted as 04:38:17. I want the leading zero in front of the "4" hours. In the cells, I did a "custom" format of h:mm:ss. This produced 4:38:17. There was no leading zero. I changed the "custom" format to hh:mm:ss (adding an extra "h"). This is what happened. When I looked at the spreadsheet, the hours were listed as 04:38:17 (with the leading zero, exactly what I wanted). All was fine. Then ... when I went to use the spreadsheet the next day, I noticed that the time was listed as 4:38:17 (no leading zero). I found this odd; I looked at the custom setting for the cell, and it said h:mm:ss (the leading extra "h" was missing). I tried this several times ... and, somehow, the custom format stays temporarily (the way I like it) ... and then, later, it somehow gets changed (automatically?) to the way I don't like it. What's going on? And how do I get the format I want? I also tried a custom format of [h]h:mm:ss ... with a bracket around the "h". Somewhere in the past, I was shown this method (and it worked). But, now, this custom format (with the brackets) made my Excel report an error in that cell. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 17:13, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
TEXT
function? So you hide the actual time field, and instead you have a displayed field with =TEXT(B1,"hh:mm:ss")
