Cell type is General and holds a string like 02 33 or 1 02 33
I've used replace to fix "03:22" and done a check for a leading zero.
But I think there may be a more elegant method, perhaps Format or RegEx.
The value can be typed in by hand or data from a Recordset with VBA.
Could it also be trapped if the value can't be made?
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
But it's always a Time? And uses Space as a delimiter?
