Problem with Excel converting text to time values.

Asked by Stojilcoviz in Microsoft Office Suite, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: , ,

Using Excel, is there a way to automatically convert a text cell to a time value?
The cell already contains a valid time value expressed as h.mm.ss. The only way I've found to make Excel understand that the value is a time value, is by either retyping the value or simply typing the ENTER key while the cursor is in the formula bar.
changing the cell format to time doesn't solve the problem.
The file comes from an export process that I can't control and the cell containing the time values are exported as text with the "General" format.

I've some hundreds cell that contains time values and I don't want to do that for each one.Start Free Trial
