Can a column be formatted for HH:MM entries?

Amanda Thacker

I need like to track working hours in sheets so it would be helpful to format the columns as an hh:mm entry, is this possible? Thanks

Hi @Amanda Thacker

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• There are multiple workarounds, but you could start by adding the different options in a dropdown list. 10:00, 11:00, and so on.
• This collected thread from Paul and others probably has a solution that would work for you.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
