How to type in a time without current date?

I'm trying to create a pop-up menu which contain a list of time(ex: 10:00, 11:00, 12:00...), but every time when I type in a time, it always come with current date, whatever I've formatted the cell or not, it couldn't match the date what I want.


Anyone got idea to avoid it? or any chance to matching the time with the right date?





Thank you so much

There are a few oddities when it comes to popup menu items. I guess this is one of them. If you try to create your popup the traditional way, using the formatting sidebar, you'll end up with date&time values. You can accomplish what you want, though.


Format some cells in a column of a table to be text

Enter your "times" in those cells. They will be text, not date&time values

Select all those cells and format them as popup menu.

Copy/paste one of them to wherever you want the popup.
