Hi,
i might me missing something simple here but i have the following:

Code:
=IF($A1="Day1","08:00:00",IF($A1="Day2","09:00:00",0))

Now this outputs as strings which makes it difficult to use in calculations
How can i output the 08:00:00 and 09:00:00 as proper time values ?

Thanks

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
