I'm trying to get a list of times for a music competition merged, and as
such, the fields I am merging are sometimes coming from a directly entered time (like the first one in each group) or a calculated formula (based on the start time and length of performance of the entrant before). I am getting the results I want if the time is directly entered, but not if it is the result of a formula. The codes I'm using a { MERGEFIELD "Competition" \@ "h:mm am/pm" \* MERGEFORMAT } which returns : 1/1/1900 8:34:30 AM instead of just: 8:34 AM The formula in the Excel spreadsheet is simply: =R2+O2+TIME(0,2,0) where R2 is the previous entrant's start time, O2 is the total time of the previoius entrant's program, then 2 minutes are added for judges to write comments. I think I'm doing it correctly, it seemed to work last year, but the formatting is not happening this year. I just don't want to go through all the entries to edit out the date and seconds for each time I want to list on each merge file, and I've got 6 different merge documents that I'm trying to create. |
