I am working with data in the mm:ss format, minutes & seconds, never hours. Can I format cells and/or enter data using a period instead of a colon as the separator? And if so, how do I set this? Working with time in this manner is new for me. TIA. =)
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

Sure. Format as hh.mm if you like.

If you change your Regional Settings. See the Excel Help Index topic for "Tips on entering dates and times".
