    My jotform download into excel won't allow excel to recognise the dual entry in a single cell of the combined date and time. Solution?

    From the screenshot you have provided and after seeing your form, from what I can see Excel report is good and formatted like it need to be. For fields inside of your form Call to Metro date and time, Dispatch Time, Hospital Arrival TIme you are using DateTime picker and all of those fields:

    Date, Year, Month, Hours and Minutes are representing one field and they will be shown inside one column in Excel report.

    Do you want to achieve something else, maybe to separate date and time, that time is in other column? You can achieve that by creating two fields, one field for Date and one field for Time inside of your Form Builder.

    If you create your Date and Time fields separated then you will have them separated as well inside of Excel report.

    Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Hello Joanna

    Many thanks for your reply. Do appreciate it. 

    I think I have run into an excel gremlin as the functionality of creating a time difference (duration) within google sheets works smoothly. I suspect in copying data over I have had the cells formatted as text.
