ss: This will represent the second part of the time.
mm: This code represents a minute part of the time in a double-digit value.
For example, in the above example, our time value showed as “06.” If we mention a single “h,” the hour part will be only “6,” not “06.”
hh: This time code represents the hour part of the time in double-digit value.
Understanding the Time Format CodeĪs we learned, the Excel time format code is hh:mm:ss. So, this will differentiate the “AM” and “PM” times. So if we do not want to see the 24-hour time format, we must enter the AM / PM separator. This time format code will show the time in 24-hour format.
We have applied the formatting code as hh:mm:ss, so our time shows the preview as 06:00:00.
Using the Time format category, we can also use the Custom category to modify the time format.
Choose any of the ones to see a similar time in the cell.
We can see the preview of the selected cell time format.
Now, we can see all the time types available for this value as per the location setting.
Now, we can see below the Format Cells window.
Then, right-click and choose FORMAT Cell excel. Now, let us learn how to use the time format in Excel for the 0.25 value.
