How can I format the total time per day to 10:00 and not with the decimal point.
I also tried to Format the Number to Duration ends up changing the total value.
Best regards.
If you do not want a decimal value, remove the *24 from the formula
and see if that works? Optional, if you don't want the seconds to show, use a custom number format as described above.
With the Time-in in C2 and Time-out in D2, in E2 enter:
=D2-C2
and format as follows:
In Google Sheets you have to select a cell you want to format, and then:
menu Format > Number > More Formats > Custom number formats
Or you can click on 123 icon (More formats) and select on drop down menu More Formats > Custom number formats

I am trying to record the time it takes for a number of things to occur, and can't seem to get Google Sheets to understand my input. I want to be able to type something like "26:30" into a cell, and have the spreadsheet understand that this means 26 minutes and 30 seconds, and then be able to use that number in formulas, e.g. to return the shortest of a series of times, or the difference between two times.
Also, the vast majority of the numbers I type in will be under an hour, so I don't want to have to type in something like "0:26:30" every time, just for it to understand that I mean 26 minutes, not 26 hours. However for the rare occasions where something is longer than an hour, I want to be able to be able to type something like "1:10:23" and not "70:23".
If possible, I would rather achieve this through directly formatting the cell I type the time into, rather than enter it in one format and have it converted in a separate cell via a formula.
Is there a way to do this that meets all of these goals?
google sheets is not designed in such a way. if you want to type in 26:30 then the best course of action is as follows:
convert cells to Plain Text, type in your duration, and account for your rules within formulae. to convert a text string into a value for the sake of calculation you can use the following principle
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(IF(REGEXMATCH(A1:A, ":\d+:"), A1:A*1, ("0:"&A1:A)*1)))
few examples:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(AVERAGE(IF(REGEXMATCH(A1:A2, ":\d+:"),
A1:A2*1, ("0:"&A1:A2)*1)), "[m]:ss"))
=ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(SUM(IF(REGEXMATCH(A1:A2, ":\d+:"),
A1:A2*1, ("0:"&A1:A2)*1)), "[h]:mm:ss"))
=ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(IF(REGEXMATCH(A2, ":\d+:"), A2*1, ("0:"&A2)*1)-
IF(REGEXMATCH(A1, ":\d+:"), A1*1, ("0:"&A1)*1), "[m]:ss"))
At this point in time there doesn't seem to be a way to directly format a cell such that Google Sheets recognises it as MM:SS instead of HH:MM, so I've had to go with formulas instead. Sharing the solution I used below.
I set it up so that the user entered the time into cell A1 in the form MM:SS or H:MM:SS and I formatted this cell as plain text, then had a second cell formatted as 'time duration' where it converted the input of A1 using the following formula:
=time(left(A1,if(len(A1)<6,"",len(A1)-6)),right(left(A1,len(A1)-3),2),right(A1,2))
To break this down:
It starts by assuming the contents of A1 is a text string with 5 or more characters in the form MM:SS or H:MM:SS or HH:MM:SS. It does not include any sort of error handling to check this is true.
The time(X,Y,Z) part of the formula converts different inputs into hours, minutes and seconds, respectively, and produces a number in the format HH:MM:SS, which is recognised as a time, and can therefore be used in formulas. Note that the cell has to be formatted as 'time duration' to display correctly.
In the above, Z is right(A1,2) which extracts the last two characters of A1, i.e. the SS part of the input. These end up as seconds.
Likewise, Y is right(left(A1,len(A1)-3),2) which extracts the 4th and 5th characters from the right of the text string of A1, i.e. the MM part of the input, after the :. This number is then recognised as minutes.
Finally, X is left(A1,if(len(A1)<6,"",len(A1)-6)), which basically says "if A1 is less than 6 characters then it must not have hours, so leave blank, otherwise extract out all characters except the last 6", i.e. the HH part of the input, if it exists. This number (which may or may not be 0) is then recognised as hours.
I'm trying to concatenate a column of dates and other of hours.
The fuction:
=CONCATENATE(TEXT(AGENDA!B9 ,"dd-mm-yyyy"), " ", TEXT(AGENDA!C9 ,"hh:mm:ss"))
works, but, some cells are in fuction format, dd-mm-yyyy, and some others are dd/mm/yyyy (the time is correct). I need them all with -
You have a non valid date in AGENDA sheet Fecha column note Luque, Hugo 20/08/2021 with month set to 20 !! and day is 08.
To add date validation, Select B2:B and go to Data data > validation > Criteria: date.
and select On invalid data: Show warning.
Fix the date one by one or take a look at the quick fix.
To check the date format:
Go to Formst > number > Custom date and time.
The Quick fix
To get date fixed with a formula from, mm/dd/yyyy to dd-mm-yyyy you need a helper column lets call it Fixed Date, with the formula.
=IF(ISDATE(B2)=False,CONCATENATE(INDEX(SPLIT(B2,"/-"),1,2),"-",INDEX(SPLIT(B2,"/-"),1,1),"-",INDEX(SPLIT(B2,"/-"),1,3)),B2)
Explanation
1 - IF(ISDATE(B2)=False check the date is valid if true return the original value example B2 if false calculate the formula.
2 - INDEX(SPLIT(B2,"/-"),1,2) to get the month column that resulted from SPLIT function with column set to 2.
3 - INDEX(SPLIT(B2,"/-"),1,1) to get the day column that resulted from SPLIT function with column set to 1.
4 - INDEX(SPLIT(B2,"/-"),1,3)) to get the yaer column that resulted from SPLIT function with column set to 3.
5 - CONCATENATE the columns with "-" in between.
Now you can paste your formula but adjusted in BBDD.AGENDA Sheet B3 cell.
=TEXTJOIN(" ",TRUE,TEXT(AGENDA!C2 ,"dd-mm-yyyy"),TEXT(AGENDA!D2 ,"hh:mm:ss"))
Notice that we changed AGENDA!B2 with AGENDA!C2.
I'm using the function importhtml() on my Google Sheets :
=IMPORTHTML("https://fbref.com/fr/comps/13/Statistiques-Ligue-1";"table";3)
The data are imported but some data are displayed "01.08" and the value is a date. The other values are ok if they contains big number like 1.93. How it's possible to change that and have only numbers and not displayed that value as a date ?
I try to change the format of the cell but the value became a number like 44455.
This is a screen of what I have
Just with the importHTML without any cell formatting
After I format the cell as brut text
How can I have the value as a number so to display 1.08 and not 01.08 ( for Google SHeets this is a date )
Thanks a lot in advance
Just add a fourth parameter, which stands for locale.
=IMPORTHTML("https://fbref.com/fr/comps/13/Statistiques-Ligue-1";"table";3;"en_US")
This solved the problem here, since it turns the decimal points into commas, not allowing GS to interpret it as date format.
I'd like to insert time windows repeatedly in a column, like this:
10:00-10:20
10:20-10:40
10:40-11:00
11:00-11:20
11:20-11:40
12:00-12:20
Is there a way to achieve this?
Put data in cells:
B1 = 10:00 (start time)
B2 = 12:20 (end time)
B3 = 20 (interval in minutes)
Here's single arrayFormula, that will generate your column:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(B1+B3*1/24/60*(row(OFFSET(B8,,,(B2-B1)/(B3*1/24/60)))-row(B7)-1),"HH:MM")&"-"&TEXT(B1+B3*1/24/60*(row(OFFSET(B8,,,(B2-B1)/(B3*1/24/60)))-row(B7)),"HH:MM"))
Explanations
Look at sample file to explore more about this formula. Pay attention on some details:
any kind of logical sequence could be done with help of series 1,2,3... Formula like =ARRAYFORMULA(row(OFFSET(B8,,,7))-row(B7)) gives us column from 1 to 7.
Time treated like numbers in sheets: 1 day is 1, 1 hour is 1/24, 1 minute is 1/24/60 and so on
Time can't be properly converted into text as it's number. So you have to use text(time, "HH:MM") formula to convert time into text.
This will repeat your time window. The formula assumes the time range is in A2:A6.
The 3 in the formula is the number of repeats (change to you need). You might want
to consider placing A2:A6 on another sheet and referencing it in the formula.
=TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(JOIN(",", ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(transpose(rept(join(",",A2:A6)&",",3)),",")&",")), ","))
I want to validate a cell in google sheet. This cell should be in format
"hh:mm:ss" where ss is optional.
I used the below formula, it returns the same for "1:02" and "1.2"
=regexmatch(text(F3,"hh:mm"), "[0-1][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]$")
I want to distinguish between : and . If user enters 'DOT' . then it should highlight it as wrong and only COLON :.
That's because you format it before with a colon.
1.02 is equal to to 01:02 hours.
1.2 is equal to 04.48 hours as it 1.2 days.
You need to validate the raw text.
Set the cell format to Plain text and change the validation to
=regexmatch(F3, "[0-1]?[0-9]:[0-5]?[0-9](?:\:[0-5]?[0-9])?")
This will accept durations such as:
1:02
1:2 (one hour and two minutes)
01:02
01:02:35
1:2:5 (one hour, two minutes and five seconds)
Just remove the lazy quantifiers if you don't want to allow non-leading zeroes.
In both cases you want it to apply to the whole column or range that has the values in it.
If you want to use data validation to mark or reject the value, you can put this as your "custom function" for data valdation:
=IF(counta(split(indirect(address(row(),1)),"."))>1,false,true)
or if you just want to conditionally format to color the incorrect cells, then choose conditional formatting, choose custom function and enter in this formula:
=IF(counta(split(indirect(address(row(),1)),"."))>1,true,false)
