Default Text to Time

That looks like it already is a time.

If you're data is really text and you want to convert it to times, you could
try:

Selecting the range
edit|Replace
what: : (colon)
with: : (same colon)
replace all
and give that range a custom format of
hh:mm:ss.000
(or whatever you want)

If you really want a macro, record one when you do it manually.

G'day All,
I'm very rusty with VBA.
I'm trying to convert text "1:28.871" to time "m:ss.000"
I've got:

Sub TEXT_TO_TIME()
For Each cell In ActiveRange
cell.Value = TimeValue(cell)
Next cell
End Sub

This gives me "run-time error '13':"
A google points to
"due to copied data being formatted as text rather than numbers"
but hey I know that.
Any Ideas?

Thanks in anticipation,
build
