Excel should let me enter time in one hundreds of a second.

[mrvw]

I am a volunteer Track & Field coach for 13 years, and would like to use
Excel to keep my team's satistics. But am unable to enter time as minutes,
seconds, tenth of seconds, or hundreth of seconds. Probably because I don't
know how to do it without converting minutes to seconds. Sure would be nice
to be able to enter exact times and query for totals and averages. Hopefully
the newer version of Excel/Office will have this capability, and that I can
afford it. I would rather use Office then have to purchase a seperate
program called "Team Manager"

Did you try formatting the cell as follows:

mm:ss.000

This should give you a cell that will read 15:25.254 as in 15 minutes,
25 seconds and 254 hundreths

You can do that, format as hh:mm:ss.00, and enter such as

0:0:5.25

This adds up correctly, you can average it and so.
