Default Can you just pull Just the Time Value out of a Cell?

hi,
have you tried Datatext to columns yet. this will parce the date and time
into seperate cells. you can do it manuelly or with macro.
this sniplet is the parce code...
Range("E1:E11").Select
Selection.TextToColumns _
Destination:=Range("E1"), _
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, _
FieldInfo:=Array(Array(0, 1), _
Array(10, 1)), _
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

you will have to come up with your own select. i just used the range above
to test.
you may also have to adjust the arrays.(i tested date with 1 and 2 digit
month and day and time with 1,2 and 0 digit hours. works)

I was wondering if this was possible, it's been haunting me for awhile.

I'm exporting data into a spreadsheet. There is a "created" column in
which the cells include dates and times, and example of the contents of
a cell is this "7/14/2006 1:49:03 PM"

If you go to cell formatting, you can change it all you want, but the
contents of the actual cell stay the same, what you see just changes.
An example is if I pick 'h:mm' it will show the hours and minutes if
you just look at the cell, but if you click on it to see its contents
it still says 7/14/2006 1:49:03 PM.

I need this for sorting purposes, so that I can put everything from a
certain time together. As of now, since the date is still part of the
cell, it will group them by day.

Any help would be great, thanks!
