    Find and replace question

    Hello everyone,

    I apologize for my ignorance, I'm kind of new to working in excel, so I have several columns with values I need to change
    for example, :08:41 needs to have a zero before the colon, needs to be 0:08:41 due to this, all my formula result in a #VALUE!

    I can't change them all manually, I was hoping there was away I can do this,

    Thank you in advacne for any help or direction I do greatly appreciate it.

    POST#4 misunderstood what you meant, the formula was intended to just ignore the wrong cell

    The formula has been updated

    Re: Find and replace question

    Thank you to all that have responded and I do apologize for any confusion, maybe I'm not explaining it correctly
    all I'd like to do, if it's possible.

    Please see Book2, Is there a way to add a zero before the colon to all the values in the column and throughout the sheet as it shows in D2 ?

    the formula I'm using is =C2+D2+H2/J2

    when I manually add a zero to the value in D2 the fomuala works and I dont see the #VALUE! ERROR

    hope that helps to clarify

    Thanks again everyone! I really appreciate all the help!

    Re: Find and replace question

    just realised @Phoucam solution (post #8) works (copy into cell G2) then copy down
    custom format column [h]:mm:ss in case addition exceeds 24 hours.
    gives right answers although does not address the missing zero's in column 'D'
