If you exported your padlet as an Excel file and want the timestamps to match your timezone, you can work a little Excel magic.\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003Cbr\u002F>In a new cell, add this formula: =(LEFT(E7,19) - 8\u002F24) -> You will need to customize two parts of this formula.\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003Cbr\u002F>First, you should replace E7 with whichever cell you want to convert.\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003Cbr\u002F>Second, you will need to adjust the end of the formula (-8\u002F24) so it matches your time zone. I'm in California, which follows PST. UDT is 8 hours ahead of PST, so I am subtracting 8 hours. If you are in EST, you would change the end of the formula to -5\u002F24. If you are ahead of UDT—say, in Sydney—you may need to add hours instead. For Sydney, the formula would end +11\u002F24.\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003Cbr\u002F>Once you add this formula, the cell should populate with a number.\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003Cbr\u002F>To convert this number to the timestamp, go to \u003Cstrong>Format\u003C\u002Fstrong> > \u003Cstrong>Cells\u003C\u002Fstrong> > \u003Cstrong>Number\u003C\u002Fstrong> > \u003Cstrong>Time\u003C\u002Fstrong> and choose one of the last two options.
