16763 2001-08-10 03:24:00 I have got a series of times in the annoying format of
hh: mm: ss - the annoying thing is that there are spaces in between the values, and excel can't read them as dates.
so like 48 minutes 28 seconds reads as 0: 48: 28 - when i want it to read 00:48:28

anyone one know of a funiction to get rid of these spaces and convert it to the form I want?..

thanks in advance..

16764 2001-08-10 23:50:00 Goto Format/Cells/Custom
scroll down the list and there should be hh:mm:ss.
If not enter hh:mm:ss in the Type requester and click OK.

HTH

16765 2001-08-13 00:21:00 nope, that does'nt work, I tried that earlier, because of the spaces in between the values excel does'nt know what format it is.
if i could get rid of the sapces witout having to do it by hand for every value that would be good.

but thanks anyway
