    Re: Calculate Time per Period: Type Mismatch

    Hi all,

    i figured it out, but could still do with some help solving it:

    Not Working: The format in my cell is 12:47. When you click on it, it also show 12:47 in the Formula Bar.
    Working: The format in my cell is 12:47. When you click on it, it shows 12:47:00 PM in the Formula Bar.

    How can i edit this code to work either way?

    Thank you!

    The "times" in column C are text, not numeric time. To convert to numeric time, select C4:C18 and click on Data, Text To Columns, Finish.

    PS: The Formula Bar always displays numeric time in the form 12:47:00 PM, regardless of the cell format.

    Hi joeu2004

    Thanks for the feedback. I realize the format issues (like you explained). I was hoping to do the formatting via VBA, and not in the sheet. I want users to stay away from the sheet and the data. Safeguard it as much as possible.

    This is the actual code I am using to format the time field to save it to the sheet in this format HH:MM

    Perhaps any suggestions on how I can edit this to save in my desired format, but as numeric time?

    Thank you!
