Hi, I want a customized format(with milliseconds also) in such a way to handle for a date and time in Microsoft Excel.

Sample date and time: 08.25.2010 00:52:09.359

For understanding of above sample date time, it is 25th August 2010 12 hrs 52mins 9seconds 359 milliseconds(AM).

Please provide a custom Format to handle the above mentioned sample date and time and finally to apply for a column.

A: 

In Excel 2003 I use the following for time with fractions of second:

"hh:mm:ss,000" (note: my decimal point is a "," - German)

so a time entered as 12:13:14,1516 will be displayed as 12:13:14,152

Hope this works for you

"." separator is not working with dates and excel is not recognizing the dates. eg. 05.24.2010 is not being recognized. but "-" and "/" separator is working for dates and excel is very easily recognizing the same.We would be grateful if there is a solution for "." separator as well.

I extended this to a full mask of "TT.MMM.JJJJ mm:ss,000" which worked fine here. My Windows Date Seperator is ".", Time Seperator is ":" and Decimal is "," --- note that my decimal and date sep's are differentI then changed regional language settings to "English-UK" and the custom mask was changed to "dd/mmm/yyyy mm:ss.000" automatically --- however it's still Excel 2003
