Remove Seconds from Excel DateTime field value
I need to remove the seconds date part from my Excel DateTime field that looks as follows:
7/8/2014 4:17:59 PM
I tried to format the cell to : mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm
This displayed the cell in the correct format, but it hasn't altered the actual value for the cell. When I compare a field with the value mentioned above with another field that has the same value but missing the second, Excel shows them as different values.
Example:
Cell 1: 7/8/2014 4:17 PM (True value: 7/8/2014 4:17:59 PM)
Cell 2: 7/8/2014 4:17 PM
Are Not Duplicates according to excel.
How can I remove the seconds part from that datetime completely?

This might be late but I just had the same issue and solved it with the following formula:
=TEXT(A2,"MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM")
Where A2 is the cell containing the timestamp with seconds
Alternatively this should also work with AM/PM
=TEXT(A2,"MM/DD/YYYY H:MM AM/PM")

This may help: (assuming your date is in A1)
=A1-SECOND(A1)
This will, in another cell, put the same value, with seconds set to 0.
