Time of day

As an event planner I need to assign start and end times i.e. 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. to meetings and tasks that need to be completed.

I can obviously type in the times, but they do not sort correctly as anything starting with a "1" regardless of AM or PM will shoot to the top. I can put a "0" in front of any AM times, such as 09:00 AM, but things gets mixed up with you get to the hours that begin with a "1".

Is there any workaround to this or any function I'm missing? Is there any move in the future to include a 24 hour gantt chart of sorts?

Hi Karen,

Is it always the same time periods? Like 9am-3pm, 10am-4pm and so on?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Have a fantastic weekend!

I would suggest taking the time you are trying to sort on and converting it to a 24 hour format. Then you can sort on that conversion. If you are trying to keep the 12 hour time with AM and PM, you can do the conversion in a helper column, hide it, then sort on the helper.

Time format column options are supposedly in-the-works... though there's no word on when we'll see it yet.

I know they are working on some things that have to do with time. I feel like since it is such a popular request, they will probably save the big announcement for their Engage conference if it is ready by then.

It's in the works, and I hope that it will get released before Engage. I can't wait! I got so many clients that would have a use for this.

Monthly feedback from multiple individuals
Hello community, I need help figuring out how to set up a sheet to collect monthly comments on several projects.

Sheet shows BLANK rows, there is a "MOVE rows" worflow, is that why?
Is it possible that a workflow that MOVES rows to another sheet too basically do a CUT/PASTE (like in Excel), and then you are left with BLANK rows on your original sheet? I cannot think of any other LOGICAL reason why this would happen. The users enter the data from an Intake Form, it gets placed onto this sheet. They do…
Sorting not working?
Hi. I have a sheet where I am sorting dates by ascending order. But the sorting functionality doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap. Is it a result of the "Next Review Due" column containing a column formula…
