Combining AM and time
Recently received data from another department in Excel spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, time data is split into two cells, i.e., G1= 12:58 and H1= AM. What is the easiest way to combine them into time format for logical operations? Thanks in advance for any help! |

Combining AM and time
Use the TimeValue function. Your formula would be something like this
=TimeValue(G1&" "&H1) Then format this cell as Time. You need the &" "& to put a space between the minutes and the AM/PM bit.

That's OK if the 12:58 is text, but not if it is a real time.
=--(G1&" "&H1) will do the same. To cope with either text or time, try =TIMEVALUE(TEXT(G1,"hh:mm")&" "&H1) or =--(TEXT(G1,"hh:mm")&" "&H1) -- David Biddulph "BobT" wrote in message ...

Combining AM and time
Okay.
After looking at it moire closely, their data is even more screwed up. Actual cell content is: H2: "9:21:00 AM" I2: "PM" With the intent being to indicate 21:21 hrs. Thanks in advance for any help.

Combining AM and time
But is the 9:21:00 AM text, or is it a time formatted that way? What do
=ISTEXT(H2) and =ISNUMBER(H2) show? What happens if you use Format/ Cells, and change to a different time format, such as hh:mm? Does it change to 09:21 ?

Combining AM and time
Ok. it's a number.
So I need to perform something like the following logical operation: if I2 = AM then J2 = H2. if I2 = PM, then J2 = H2 + 12 hours. J2 formatted as time. H2 = "time" i.e., 9:21:00 AM I2 = PM vs AM J2 = useable time value, i.e., 0001 - 2399 hrs. I asked the resource that sent me this spreadsheet about the way this data was displayed and she told me they did it to help me out. the original report sent "08/01/08@07:04 AM" but I don't believe I can use that (am looking at hat next tonight).

Combining AM and time
If you had 12:58 PM, for example, then I don't think you'd want to add 12
hours. As I suggested earlier, why not try my formula? If there is a case where it isn't working, let us know what inputs gave what result from the formula. As for your 08/01/08@07:04 AM, why not use =--RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND("@",A2)) and format in whichever time format suits you? -- David Biddulph "Jon M" wrote in message ... Ok. it's a number.
