I would like to be able to format a cell for time in hours and minutes with the user entering either only the numbers or numbers with the colon. I can do "0\:00" for number only entries, but not both ways.

Would also like to do the same in a numeric cell with thee decimal places

Thanks

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

You realize, of course, that using that number format only makes the entry look like a time value, it does not make it an actual time value. If that is acceptable to you, then you could use this Custom Cell Format...

[>1]0\:00;h:mm
