Can't write individual Hour?

Question

What am I doing wrong? Yes I searched for help, but I'm not seeing a solve.

I want to be able to calculate hours, but that's a discussion for later.

I have a Text Field that I want to be Formatted to Hour as "h" only. So I can write 1, and that's it. But when I try to just enter "1" in there, I get "The value entered does not match the format of the field "

Thanks for your time!

Thank you. But if I use the number format, I can't calculate hours (8+5=1 in hours, rather than 13 in numbers)

It took me a moment to understand how 8+5 can equal 1... This is a very confusing notation method. There's a reason we use either 24-hour format or add AM/PM to the 12-hour format.

What you're trying to do is possible (see Nesa's comment), but I would not recommend you do it like that.

Thanks all for your help. Regarding my initial question, I found the answer is rather simple. I have the Format noted above as "h" but when I tried to just write "1" in the field, it came out as Wrong Format. What I needed to write is "1:00" and then it appears as "1" in the field.

Much appreciated on the help for the calculation, Nesa
