hi all

I have this code that does not work

Code:
Sub replace()

Range("A1:A100").Select


Dim c As Range
For Each c In Selection


Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("A").replace _
        What:=":", replacement:=".", LookAt:=xlPart
        
If c.Value <> "" Then c.Value = "From " & c.Value


Next


End Sub


What I have is a column where people have entered the time as eg 2:00 or 2.00 or 2:00pm or 2.00pm for invites

My ideal solution I would like to do is

1.Remove all letters from the cells
2.Change all . to :
3.Format the cells as time to produce 2:00pm (no seconds) and convert 24hr time to standard eg 14:00 becomes 2.00pm
4.Change the : back to . for asthetics as its for invites so 2.00pm
5.Add word "from" to the time using
Code:
If c.Value <> "" Then c.Value = "From " & c.Value

Any help appreciated

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
