Default Formatting Date Field

Thanks Stefi, it work a charm

I see, if they are strings instead of Excel date/time values, then use this
formula:
=LEFT(A2,11)&"18:00:00"
You can overwrite the original values with Copy/PasteSpecial-Values, if
necessary.

Thanks Stefi, but the entire date string is in on cell, all i need to do is
to change the time section, i can do this easily in search and replace but
because they are random times i would have to know what they are in the first
place to change them to 18:00:00

incoming dates beeing in column A
=INT(A2)+0.75
and format result cells as date/time

Good day, i have a problem where i have imported some data with dates and
time, the problem is i need to modify the time part of the date to a specific
time like 18:00:00. The dates came in as follows 05/09/2008 18:00:00
10/10/2008 18:00:00
23/10/2008 18:00:00
05/12/2008 16:01:00
28/11/2008 18:00:00
05/12/2008 10:00:00
06/06/2008 18:00:00
27/06/2008 18:00:00
18/07/2008 12:35:00
22/08/2008 18:00:00

How can i change them to all have a finish time of 18:00:00? Please note
that this is a sample from over 2,000 dates i have to modify.

Help Please!!!
