Converting Time Formats Without Colons

I had to do what you see below.  Not easy to do when you have 16,000 times you have to convert.  So, I put a post on the Mr. Excel message board and one of the other outstanding members gave me the formula you see below.  It's amazing!


Problem:

801a   to 8:00 AM
1000p to 10:00 PM

Formula:

=IF(OR(RIGHT(A1)={"a","p"}),(TEXT(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1),"00\:00 ")&RIGHT(A1)&"M")+0,"")
