Data from a SQL database represents time of day as a string of x's when imported into Excel. With CLEAN, I found that noon is -0.5.
This means that the calculation being used for noon is (24 * -0.5), or -12, meaning "go to the end of the 24 hour day, then go back half a day to noon." Similar calculations work other times of day.
Time entries that start in one day and end in the next are not allowed, so there is no problem with a change in day, thank goodness.
How can I convert this to the AM/PM time that my users need?
