Default converting military time

I have a spreadsheet with time displayed as 19:46. This is a text string and
I would like to convert it to 7:46 PM.

Is there a formula that will convert these text strings to time?

Thanks for the help......

Are you sure it's formatted as text? When I enter 19:46 in a cell and format
as text it displays as .823611 (i.e., 82.3% of a 24-hour day).

Have you tried formatting the cell as AM/PM?

One way:

A1: 19:46 (Text)
A2: --A1

Format A2 as a Time.

Yes....I am sure it is displayed as text because when I use Format
Cell.Text is already highlighted.

AND FORMAT CELL - TIME - 7:46 PM
