Text to numbers?
Hello All! I'm working with an application that tracks how long someone takes
to complete a function. The report from said application can export the needed report to an Excel file. However, the timeframe is captured in one cell and presented like this: 5 Hrs 5 Min. How could one go about breaking this down into seperate cells so one could perform calculations on it? Thanks for any ideas! Jim |

I'd try this (save first--just in case it doesn't work).
Select the range to fix Edit|replace what: __min (two spaces, then min) with: (leave blank) replace all Then with the range still selected edit replace what: _hrs__ (space, hrs, two spaces) with: : (colon) replace all Then check the range to see if it worked.
