Hi
I have a text value HH:MM:SS a/p.m. (eg 7:02:43 a.m. or 12:18:18 p.m.) and I need to convert this to a HH:MM:SS value in the 24 hour format to allow sequencial sorting.
Can anyone help with the syntax please?
Cheers

With your sample time in cell A1, I got this formula to generate
something appropriate:
=TEXT(HOUR(A1),"00")&TEXT(MINUTE(A1),"00")
....where the time in A1 is an Excel-readable time format. Does that
get you close?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
In searching further I actually found an even quicker way. If I simply replace the "a.m." with "AM" and the "p.m." with "PM" it changes the structure of the cell so that formatting the column now does the convertion for me.
Again thanks for the reply. Much appreciated
