Default Time formula returns night time by mistake

Sorry,

I had an elderly moment

Try this instead

MID(C1,FIND(" ",C1,1)+1,(FIND(" ",C1,FIND(" ",C1,1)+1)-FIND(" ",C1,1)))

Try

=TEXT(VALUE(MID($C1,(FIND(" ",$C1,1))+1,FIND(" ",$C1,1)-4)),"hh:mm")

I have been using the formula =VALUE(MID($C6,(FIND(" ",$C6,1))+1,FIND("
",$C6,1)-4)) in column B but it returns the wrong time of day. When it has to
calculate 05:13 for example it returned 17:13. Must be an easy fix and
would appreciate your help.
