Hi,

This is two questions in one, but they're linked:
I want to record a time duration in MM:SS into a cell. I've set the format using "custom" and "MM:SS", but to get it to display properly I have to enter zero values for the hour, e.g. 00:10:32 to display 10:32. Is there a way to avoid having to enter the zeros?

Secondly, the target duration is 10 minutes. I then want a second cell to display a penalty score if the time is more or less than 10 minutes using the following rule:
10 point penalty for each whole minute the time is over 10 minutes up to a maximum of 40 penalty points.
10 point penalty for each whole minute the time under 10 minutes up to a maximum of 20 penalty points.

I've been trying to write an "if" statement for this, but haven't succeeded yet, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
Mark
