Hi Sam, Thanks for the advice. Yes, I had tried that. Yes, it visually changes it to what I want, but again - the "true" time still indicates seconds in addition to the hours and minuites. Under normal circumstances this may not be an issue, however I am using a vlookup formula afterwards for further data manipulation. I will unable to get a proper match because it continues to "see" the seconds. Any other possible ideas ?
