Hi Gerry

If your imported data is in cell A1
in cell B1
=--(LEFT(A1,2)&":"&MID(A1,4,2)&":"&RIGHT(A1,2))
FormatCellsNumberTime (hh:mm:ss)
Copy formula down as required

If you need to sum the times calculated in column B, format the cell
with the summation formula as [h]:mm to allow it to sum past 24 hours.

I am trying to convert time entries from an external source (hh/mm/ss)
to calculate in excel. What is the easiest method of doing this? I am
not sure of the properties of the external report but is seems to be
very similar to word pad.
Thanks,
Gerry
