I have a data set that I work with that exports to excel with a strange time format that excel doesn’t recognize. In one cell it will show time as, “7 hours, 11 minutes”, “14 hours, 5 minutes”, etc. I usually just go through and change these to “7:11”, “14:05”, etc. by hand. Is there an easier way to get excel to convert this format to the workable format that I can use for the reports I’m putting together? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Ichiha,

Welcome to our forum!

You can use this formula where your text is in cell A1:

=TIMEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," hours, ",":")," minutes",""))

Then apply the Time format to the cell.
