Converting to Time Format

A

Amber

Hello,

I have imported a report from Notepad into Excel. There is a column that
has various times in it, which I brought in as text (since I didn't have any
other options). I now want to sort by time, and have the time be in
ascending order. How can I change the format of this to time, so that Excel
recognizes it as time, and sorts it correctly. Is there some kind of formula
I can use?

Thank you

Add a helper column. Add the formula

=A1*1

copy down, and sort on the helper column.
