Hello
Is there a way to change the following in hh:mm:ss?
Instead of 22.14.15, I want it to change it to 22:24:15 (replace dot with
colon?)
I have few hundred entries which need to be changed. It will be too time
consuming to change manually.
Thank you

22.24.15
01.53.59
07.30.19
15.31.13

Have you tried EditReplace?

Assuming the 22.24.15 is text and in Cell A1...
=TIME(LEFT(A1,2),MID(A1,4,2),RIGHT(A1,2))
Then custom format as...
hh:mm:ss or
hh:mm:ss AM/PM

Hope this helps.
If it does, please click the Yes button.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
