time (excluding the seconds portion), and seconds (including fractional
seconds).

with a timestamp result.
2. To format the date component, choose Format menu > Date.
3. In the Date Format dialog box, select the formats you want to use and click
OK.
4. To format the time component (except the seconds portion), choose Format
menu > Time.
