Import csv data and convert to TIME format

J

JLettington

I import data representing telephone call duration from a csv file
ie
001:00:12
013:15:59
124:42:13
and want to sum it using SUM(A1:A3)

If I copy from the csv file and paste into Excel the format of the tex
data remains untouched even if I have previously formatted cells A1>A
as [h]:mm:ss

If I manually overtype the cells ie in A1 (eg type 1:0:12, and 13:15:5
and 124:42:13) the cells display correctly (except no leading zeros) an
the formula then starts to calculate correctly . In effect I am retypin
every cell value so that the formula calculates correctly. Any help ver
much appreciated.:confused
