Default Reformat existing 4 digit number as hh:mm?


..3611 is the correct time serial..
you only need to format the new column to display the number as time.

I copied your formula into the cell in my temporary column

if i read you correctly you need timeserials

add a temporary column..

if the last 2 digits are seconds then
with formula =TIMEVALUE(TEXT(B1,"00\:00\:00"))
if they are minutes then
with formula =TIMEVALUE(TEXT(B1,"00\:00"))

dragdown.. then copy /pastespecial values..

I have a column of 3 and 4 digit numbers. I would like to insert
a colon : to the immediate left of the 2 numbers on the far
right of the cell. Is there a way to do this easily?
