Anyone know how to format cells in an Excel spread sheet to change text numbers to a time format? Example would be 800 to 08:00 or 8:00 and 1700 to 17:00.  I need to sort two different spread sheets to match certain entries.  If I could change one of the spread sheets from text numbers to the time, I could make the matches much quicker.

Tried that. It just changes the numbers to "0:00".

Instead of time, go to custom.  in custom, you type what you want.  hh:mm  will give you 08:00
