Hi, I've tried several things and excel is still not seeing the time as time.

The system exports the time data in text in this format, note AM and PM

09:00AM
08:00PM

So its like a hybrid 24 hour normal time. Note there is no space between the AM/PM and the time.

If I click into the time field and add a space and hit enter in Excel, Excel now see's it as time.

What formula is best for this, to retain the AM/PM format?
