Format Time as Text
I have a column of time values, (formatted for example as 14:50 or 6:15). I
am flexible on the format of this column. In an adjacent column I need the time value to be converted to text so that 14:50 reads as 1450. Simply speaking, I need the colon removed. Thank you in advance. |

While your suggestions worked, I realize now that I need the result to remain
a number and not text. Therefore, how do I remove the colon will maintaining a number format. Thanks again.
