Converting Text to Time format of XX:XX
I have a question on converting number in text to time format of 24 hours.
The information is copied from another data file and gets pasted as a text file of 4 digits. IE: 'XXXX I tried the formula of =VALUE(LEFT(D2,2))&":"&(VALUE(RIGHT(D2,2))) to get a time format but it is loosing #s when converting 0. IE 0503 converted is 5:3 it misses the 2nd 0 Any suggestions to keep both 0 so it will come out 05:03??? any and all help would be appreciated.. Thanks |

If you want a real time value, as opposed to a text string that looks like a
time, you can use =time(left(d2,2),right(d2,2),0). If you just want to insert the :, you can use =left(d2,2)&":"&right(d2,2). --Bruce "Marck" wrote: I have a question on converting number in text to time format of 24 hours.

Then go with the second option offered: =left(d2,2)&":"&right(d2,2).
