I have to import a report into excel which contains times in to
columns. The time is formated as 9:45 and 11:23 (as an example). when
the times are pasted into Excel the times with 4 digits (11:23) excel
automaticly sets the cell formula to hh:mm but if the time only has 3
digits (9:45) excel automaticly sets the cell format to general. I
have tried formating the cells as hh:mm prior to pasting but that did
not help.

Any ideas how I can convert the 9:45 to the proper time format?
