Step 1 - Formatting Dates and Times

You can format your cells to display both the date and time parts or just the date or just the time.

You can change the date and time number format applied to your cells by highlighting the cells and selecting (Format > Cells)(Number tab).

If none of the built-in formats display the date or time in the correct way you can create a custom date and time format.

Step 2 - Default Date Formats

Step 3 - Default Time Formats

Step 4 - Things to Remember

You can quickly remove any date and time number formats from cells by highlighting them and pressing (Ctrl + Shift + "~"). This will change the format back to General.
