Entering Data
Duration displays all column values as a duration of time using one of these formats (shown in
Figure 3.21). An example of duration is hours, minutes, and seconds.
Figure 3.21 Duration Formats
• :day:hr:m, :day:hr:m:s show a duration of time, such as 52:03:01:30 (:day:hr:m:s), which
reads fifty-two days, three hours, one minute, and thirty seconds.
• hr:m, hr:m:s, min:s shows a duration of time, such as 17:37 (hr:m), which reads seventeen
hours and thirty-seven minutes.
Working With International Formats
If you are importing or entering data that contains formatting specific to country standards, you might
need to make sure your number formats are interpreted correctly. To do this on Windows, access the
Control Panel’s time/region and language option, and select the country for which the number should
be formatted. On the Macintosh, select System Preferences from the apple menu, and then select
International, and then select Numbers, and select the correct country. On Red Hat 7.x, under KDE,
select Preferences > Personalization > Country & Language. On Red Hat 9 in both KDE and
GNOME’s main menu, select System Settings > Language.

• Select Rows > Add Rows. Then enter the number and location of rows you want to add. By
default, new rows appear at the end of the table.
