Hi there,

I have a database that is downloaded, however some of the time values are not correct:

here is a sample:
0 7:37:26 PM
0 9:41:43 PM
0 9:50:13 PM
0 9:40:30 PM
0 9:42:45 PM
0 9:44:45 PM
0 9:45:15 PM
0 9:46:01 PM
0 9:47:01 PM
0 9:47:31 AM
0 9:49:31 PM
12:01:55 AM
04:51:55 PM
11:27:30 AM

Does anyone know why there are leading zeros?

Currently I am using the following formula to correct the entries
=TEXT(SUBSTITUTE(C17179,"0 ",""),"HH")

However I would prefer this to be a VBA solution, can anyone assist me?

the column in question is "C"

Thanks

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Code:
Sub Strip_Leading_Zeros()
    
    Dim i As Integer
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Columns("C:C")
    
        For i = 1 To 12
            .Replace What:="0 " & i, Replacement:=i, LookAt:=xlPart, _
            SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
        Next i
        
        .NumberFormat = "HH"
        
    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub
