vee,

For values starting in cell A1, in another cell, use the formula

=IF(LEFT(A1,1)=":",TIMEVALUE("0"&A1),TIMEVALUE(A1) )

and copy down. Format for time "hh:mm:ss" - the 13:30:35 example, then copy
and paste values over the formulas, and delete your original values.

1) Select B1
2) Type 00:00:01 and press ENTER into B1,
and press DELETE to erase data in B1 (for Auto NumberFormat)
3) Enter a formula in B1:

=TIMEVALUE("00"&A1)
