Ok, great! I won’t code it, but will be looking forward to whatever one of you produces. In the meantime I’m returning strings.
Can you open an issue for this, so that I can link to it from my package? I would open it, but not sure in which repo it should be (because this stuff moved into the core, or not?).

I can also take a crack at coding it up if Jacob or someone else doesn't beat me to it.

I’m trying to figure out in what type I should return those values… I could certainly just format them as strings for now, I guess… I myself don’t have a use for it, I just want to make sure the package does something meaningful if it comes across a file with such a cell.

I'm pretty sure I mocked something up at one point, but don't know if I have any code still lying around. Happy to help push this if there's enough interest. -Jacob On Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 7:06 AM, David Anthoff <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi, is there a Time datatype, analogous to the Date type? I ran into a situation where I need to represent times (like 12:34 pm) that don’t have a date associated. I understand that in the case of dates that don’t have a time component I’d use Date (instead of DateTime), but I couldn’t find anything the other way around, for times that don’t have a date. Thanks, David
