Default Time correction question

Had some workers inserting times as 651 and 710. Obviously they have to be
changed to 6:51 and 7:10. I hate to think I have to manually edit them all
to correct. Multiple rows and pages to fix :0( Any suggestions?

Default Time correction question

There is a simple correction but I have a question. Does 651 represent 6:51
AM or 6:51 PM or both?
Excel maintains time as a decimal fraction. 6:51 AM is 0.285417 and 6:51 PM
is 0.785417

In this particular example, it represents 6:51 am . there are entries such
as 1851 also that have to be converted to 18:51
