Hello,
Using OOo 2.0 on windows XP + SP2 (but it seems to be the same in
1.1.4). This is my first time in trying to use calc to do time
calculations, and I'm having trouble with the formating. I've looked
at most of the user docs that I can find, and very little is said
about time formating. Basically I want a 'true' format of MM:SS both
for input and for output. So I'd like to input "42:34" and have
interpreted as 42 min and 34 sec, not 42 hours and 34 min - which is
what it seems to be doing at the moment and then just showing the
minutes and seconds part. I'd then like a cell to show 73:05 when
added to a cell with 24:33. I think this might be a bug. I looked at
issue tracker, but it's a complected item to search for.
Have you set the cell parameters for that time format? Should be mm:ss
Roderick, hi, that's part of the problem, setting to the right format:
MM:SS truncates the hours part, and interprets 45:36 as 45 hours - so
you just see 36:00 - which I think is a bug (but a bug that seems to
have been around since 123 for DOS, I wouldn't wonder!)
Make a user defined setting. [MM]:SS will display minutes and seconds
without truncating the hour part.
