Default Formatting time from imported data

Thank you Socratis - SUPER

Wanna,

another solution is to create this macro in a module.

Public Sub FormatTime()
Dim rng As range
Dim cell As range

Set rng = Selection

For Each cell In rng
If Left(cell.Value, 1) = ":" Then
cell.Value = "0" & cell.Value
End If
Next
End Sub

To make things easier, assign this macro to a shortcut, such as ctrl+g.
Thus, to use daily just highlight your range and press ctrl+g.

Hello everyday I import data that looks like this
ACD Time
8:52:40
:20:26
3:46:45
:00:00
1:17:52
3:27:37
Here is the problem if the cell is over an hour , example 8:52:40 the cell
is formatted as time, but if the cell is less than an hour example, :20:20 is
formatted as general. However if I add a zero in front of the number (e.g.
0:20:26)then it becomes formatted as time. I've have tried several formats
to change this but it does not work. The only way is if I change it manually
. On a daily basis I have over 50 that I have to add the zero to . How
can I speed this up. thanks
