    Adding numbers to a Time Formated cell

    if cells were formated to time (i.e. 00:00:00) but if some only looked like:

    05:00
    06:00... How could you add the first series of "00" to them using a formula.

    Basically my data set looks like:

    01:00:00
    05:00
    06:00


    and for the final two i wanted to add the other series of zero's, how would i do that using a formula?

    You need to checK what your cells contain

    if 05:00 is 5 hours no minutes it can be changed to 05:00:00 by formating as hh:mm:ss

    if it is 5 minutes, no seconds try formating hh:mm:ss and the leading 00 should appear

    If it is hours and minutes and you wish it to be minutes and seconds divide by 60.

    If it is mm:ss and you wish it to be hh:mm:ss eg your minutes should be hours and seconds should be minutes multiply it by 60 and format as hh:mm:ss

    what about if some of the values apear as such:

    :05:00
    :06:00

    and yes this does represent 5 mins/6mins respectively.

    how would i get the "hh" to show up as zero's?
