    convert time without am pm to 24 hour

    hello,
    Hoping someone may be able to help.I download from a site data which has times in the format as per sample sheet col A.I would like to be able to automatically change it to 24 hour time as per col B.They do not put am or pm next to it.This I imagine would only create a problem if there were, for example morning times 10:30am and evening times 10:30pm without having am or pm.However in my case the earliest times at this stage appear to be
    Starting in the morning 10:30am with the
    latest start 10:00pm at night
    So I would like up until 1pm to remain the same as in ColA e.g 10:30,11:45 then when it becomes 1:00 to change to 24 hour becoming 13:00.The 10PM at night would be then 22:00.

    Re: convert time without am pm to 24 hour

    All the times in Column A are AM times except for cell A2. How do you know that they should be PM? ie. 12+ in 24 hour time.

    Re: convert time without am pm to 24 hour

    In the real dataset, is there also a date column?

    @AliGW There is no date in the original data, it is downloaded each day in ColA as required by me.Your results in Col E 2:13 is what I would like to see in Col B

    OK, then in C1 copied down:

    =IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A1,">"&A1)=0,A1,A1+0.5)

    Re: convert time without am pm to 24 hour

    Sorry to open again but I have downloaded from new area and I cannot get the formula to work.
    The sheet is how I download it just copied and pasted into excel without any preformatting.

    Re: convert time without am pm to 24 hour

    You still have the thread marked as solved - remove the solved tag for now if you want further help.

    The values are not time values - they are just text (set as general format).

    Re: convert time without am pm to 24 hour

    That's because the sample data you gave us before included AM times - this appears not to, so there's no way for Excel to determine which, if any of these times is meant to be PM. Excel is no more clairvoyant than I am.

    Re: convert time without am pm to 24 hour

    Click on column A, then on Data | Text-to-columns then click Finish, and those times will be converted from text to numerical times. You will need to format the cells in column B as Time in the style you prefer.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete
