Separate AM/PM from time.
In column B I have 1000 time entries with the following format. 9:30AM,
10:30PM. I would like to move the AM or Pm into a new column. I've tried "fixed width", also tried changing the format to put a space between the time and the AM/PM, but nothing has worked. Any suggestions? Don |

format column C to hh:mm (so no AM/PM is shown)
In C1 enter =if(b10.5,b1-0.5,b1) this will then only show the 12h clock even if PM in D1 enter =if(b10.5,"PM"."AM") Then if you like hide column B Copy/fill the formulas in C1 and D1 down as needed Regards Steve "cuartetto" wrote: In column B I have 1000 time entries with the following format. 9:30AM, 10:30PM.

Are these really times or are they text?
If they're plain old text, then I'd convert them to times. Select the range Edit|replace: what: AM with: _AM (where _ represents the space character) replace all And once more for the PM. Then the results should be real times. And you can use a formula like the ones Steve suggested. But I'd keep the data as real times -- maybe format the cell so that I see: 21:30 instead of 9:30 PM though. cuartetto wrote: In column B I have 1000 time entries with the following format. 9:30AM, 10:30PM.
