    Problem With Noon/Midnight

    So, in Cell F55, I have a start time and in J55 I have an end time.

    F55 = 12:00:00 PM and J55 = 3:00:00 PM. I'm working on a macro that prints all the hours between the two in the immediate window, but I was getting something weird, it was printing from 1:00 AM until 3:00 PM, so I put "?timevalue(Range("F55").Value)" in the immediate window just to see what Excel thinks "12:00:00 PM" means and I got this:

    Weird, huh? So to see what the value of "12:00 PM" as a double is, I got this:

    And then, when I wanted to know what the time value of "0.5" is:

    So, if I have 12:00 PM as the value of a cell, both of these come up with the same answer, and are both wrong:

    To sum it up, Excel thinks 12:00 PM is 12:05 AM and it's killing me.

    No mystery. A time is a number expressing a fractional part of a day. Hence 12:00 mid day, 12:00:00 PM, is half way through the day and is represented, as a number, by 0.5.

    My problem is that timevalue(Range("F55").Value) comes out as 12:05:00 AM, so

    Oh, nevermind, I just changed "Value" to "text" and it worked. Thanks!

    Re: Problem With Noon/Midnight

    Looking at this again, TimeValue takes a text string that represents, or looks like, a time and converts it to a numeric value representing a fraction of a day. In this case, you actually have a true numeric time value in the cell ... at least, something that looks to me as something that Excel would interpret as a time.

    Re: Problem With Noon/Midnight

    Try converting the fraction value to a double before the conversion to time:
    timevalue(Cdbl(Range("F55").Value))
