I have times in H1:Q1 which are formatted as hh:mm but are actually text
E.g. 04:20. 05:11

I also have dates in h3:Q3 which are formatted as dd-mm-yy are also text

I would like VBA to convert the times to proper times and dates to proper dates

Thanks

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Thanks
I know about the formulas, but how would I use it within VBA to convert the 2 ranges

It depends what you want to do, do you want the value of the cell to be replaced by the true time/date?

Heres a function you can use
VBA Code:
Function ConvDateTime()
    Dim cell As Range
    For Each cell In ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("H1:Q1").Cells
        cell.Value = TimeValue(cell.Value)
    Next cell
    For Each cell In ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("H3:Q3").Cells
        cell.Value = DateValue(cell.Value)
    Next cell
End Function

If I have it in a function, do I just call it from a sub
