Hello,

I am importing data from an html site that uses colons to separate data (i.e. soccer results with scores 1:1, 2:2 etc) in each cell. When the import request goes through, it makes the 1:1 scores as a time of 1:01:00AM.

I am wondering how I can either get it to show plainly as '1:1' i.e. as text, or somehow transform it to show as '1-1' or even simply '1 1' so this problem wouldn't persist. I have tried the left right functions, the value function, the text function and none of those work..

Many thanks in advance!!

Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
