Normally, when I enter times in Google spreadsheet as 22:00:00 the display automatically switches to 10:00 PMbut sometimes it's not converting.
How can I set a common format for times in Google spreadsheet? I need this format: 8:00 PM.
Select all ranges that you wish to have this time format and go to Format > Number > More formats to select the one of your choice. (I think the one you want is near the bottom and shows as 3:59 PM.)
If you want to format a time with TEXT() to display with am/pm you can use:
=TEXT(DateField, "HAM/PM")
To get a results like
1am
1pm
10pm
12am
Use UPPER() to make it uppercase.

I have a piece of text I need to transform into a date:
"12/28/20 10:44 PM"
Any of the usual tricks are not working to get sheets to recognize this as a date.
I've made progress parsing out the date and time into separate cells but it still won't factor in the AM PM part.
Is there a quick way to convert to a date for this type of format?
try:
=REGEXREPLACE(A1; "(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)"; "$2/$1/20$3")*1
then:
I would like to know How can I convert a given time into a proper time, so we can create a link which will generate event with just one click!
Example
We want to add a calendar event (sample like can be found here)
Title: Interview with Mark Zuckerberg
Location: google meet link
Start: 06/08/2022 # 04:00 PM
End: 06/08/2022 # 04:45 PM
Description: Meeting Details here
Now when we put the above details in the tool mentioned above, it generates a link, there we can simply replace the get variables and it becomes dynamic(just like we do using programming)
Add to calendar link generated by the tool
Problem
Not able to convert this
06/08/2022 04:00 PM to 06/08/2022 04:45 PM into 20220806T103000Z/20220806T111500Z
Pointers
Have to add time in that format only(04:45 PM) because non tech people will also use it
Can we generate automatic end time(based on some calculation, like each meeting will last 45 minutes, so we can avoid that calculation
We Use this feature in bulk, that is why add to calendar link generation is important for us
Option 01 - One formula one cell one click!
Use this formula
=ArrayFormula(IF(F2:F="",,HYPERLINK("https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit?dates="&IF(F2:F="",,SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(D2:D, "dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS"),"/",""),":",""), " ","T")&"Z"&"/"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(E2:E, "dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS"),"/",""),":",""), " ","T")&"Z")&"&details="&ENCODEURL( C2:C)&"&location="&ENCODEURL( B2:B)&"&text="&ENCODEURL( A2:A),"Calendar Link")))
Let's check links
Option 02 - Multiple Steps
Use this formula to get the time formatted
With this formula you need to input Start time and duration only.
=ArrayFormula(IF(F2:F="",,SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(D2:D, "dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS"),"/",""),":",""), " ","T")&"Z"&"/"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(E2:E, "dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS"),"/",""),":",""), " ","T")&"Z"))
To Get the Link for calendars use this formula
=ArrayFormula(IF(F2:F="",,"https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit?dates="&G2:G&"&details="&ENCODEURL( C2:C)&"&location="&ENCODEURL( B2:B)&"&text="&ENCODEURL( A2:A)))
I have an todo application and some tasks have deadlines. If deadline is bigger or equal than current date, I want to display them. However, there is a local datetime problem i believe.
This is the current date using 'print(Date())':
2021-07-27 18:53:03 +0000
This is the beginning of that date using 'print(Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: Date()))':
2021-07-26 21:00:00 +0000
As you see, 27th day becomes 26th. I tried timezone operations also. It seems true but day is still starting at 21.00
When I convert them as string and print them, it is ok it show the expected results but without string type it becomes like above. Because of I want to get the bigger or equal days compared to current date , string solution is not working. It is the 27th of day but because of date object it is shown as 26th day and my app showing yesterdays tasks etc.
Can you provide a help for me?
Thanks
I have over 5,000 tweets in a spreadsheet. I copied them from another site and each one looks like this:
Josh Mitchell #mitchellmadnessTue Dec 16 22:24:27 +0000 (GMT) via Twitter Web Client0
Are you ready to party for the holidays and network your mistletoe off? #wickidpissa #elevate #publicityhttp://t.co/IoovyowZYO
That whole thing is in one cell, A2. The first line in that cell has the date and time. The second line in that same cell is the tweet, which we can ignore.
I want to be able to parse out the date and time from each cell in column A and put them into columns B and C, respectively. In the first line of each cell, the twitter handle and week day have no space between them. So in the example above, the day would be Tuesday and the time would be 22:24:27. Throughout the list of tweets, the days are represented as "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", etc.
Is there a formula or script I can run to easily capture this information across all of tweets in each cell?
Seems, say in B2 [not per spec, for the second formula!]:
=mid(A2,find("(GMT)",A2)-22,15)
is deemed "fit for purpose".
To convert that to a date/time index (ignoring time zone issues etc and assuming the year is 2014):
=value(mid(B2,5,2)&"-"&left(B2,3)&"-2014")+right(B2,8)
With a date/time index the results could be copied into a different column and formatted so one shows date and the other time.
In the new Google sheets there's a way of formatting a number as a duration. Format -> Number -> Duration.
1 is formatted as 24:00:00
1.2 is formatted as 28:48:00
1.5 is formatted as 36:00:00
0.03125 is formatted as 0:45:00.
I don't need the seconds in the duration representation, because they bloat my timesheet.
How can I format a duration as HH:mm (without using a formula to calculate hours and minutes and concatenate that with a colon). Is there a way of using the TEXT formula.
This is how I would like it:
1 is formatted as 24:00
1.2 is formatted as 28:48
1.5 is formatted as 36:00 (I don't need 12:00 which datetime-formatting would accomplish)
0.03125 is formatted as 0:45
There is no need to use formulas for that, you can define your own custom formats.
Just go to Format -> Number -> More formats -> More date and time formats. It will open a window with several date and time formats to choose from. You can define your own as well, using the upper text area:
Click on the small arrow on the left, and select the first element you want to add: elapsed hours. Notice there are two different "hours", one for time and another for durations.
Type your separator text :
Click on the arrow again and add the second element: Elapsed Minutes.
Finally, click on each element you added, to determine the correct format (trailing zeros or not, for example).
The answer from Hot Licks and spex worked for me in Google sheets - enclosing the h in [] , as in TEXT(A2,"[h]:mm:ss"), allows a duration larger than 24 hours. Without the [], 28 hours shows up as 4, with the [h], 28 hours shows as 28.
In Excel it's "Custom" then [hh]:mm.
(I'm not quite sure how I figured this out, but it's in a spreadsheet I've been using for a year or so.)
Select Format > Number > More Formats > Custom number format.
Enter [h]:mm and click Apply.
Basically Menu choices are:
Format > Number > Custom Date and time
Then, choose duration properties putting commas between them
TRY THIS
To display 1.00 [Hrs] when you enter 1 ...
Navigate to: Format > Number > Custom number format
In the formula bar use the following: #,##0.00 "[Hrs]"
"[Hrs]" can be replaced with anything, just make sure you keep the "double quotes"
You should get the following displayed
1 => 1.00 [Hrs]
1.5 => 1.50 [Hrs]
15.2 => 15.20 [Hrs]
