    Gantt chart not calculating anymore

    Hi,

    I have an issue with my excel sheet where it only counts if I manually put in values hh:mm:ss. When I try to copy paste values in the same format to these cells it still doesn't calculate the conditional formatting in the gantt chart. I tried several different things such as copy-paste, copy-paste values but I can't get it to work the way I want.

    I have attached an example of file where my issue is visible. I have highlighted cells D2 - D6 in orange. As soon as I select a cell and backspace the last second then put the second 0 back in and enter the gantt chart conditional formatting sees the value. Any idea why this is happening? I need to copy paste these values from another source.

    The formula in column G is returning negative times if the departure time (F) is less than the arrival time (D). Change the formula in G2 to this:

    =F2-D2+(D2>F2)

    which has the effect of adding 24 hours in cases like this (i.e. the arrival is the next day).

    I also used Find & Replace on columns D and F to replace : with : just in case you had any text values in those columns which look like times.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Hi Pete_UK,

    "Find & Replace on columns D and F to replace : with :" this did the magic :-).

    Thanks a lot!

    Kind Regards,
