and convert it to PDT using a formula
thanks

Is the time of 17:56:25 a PDT time or is it a time from some other Time Zone that you want converted to PDT?
Assume you just want to extract a time value from your string.
If your string is in Cell A1, try this....
=VALUE(MID(A$1,12,8))
Here are some possible formats.....
5:56:25 PM
5:56 PM
17:56:25
17:56
I think the Z suffix indicates UTC. Pacific Daylight Time is UTC - 7.
In Excel date/time format 1 = 1 day, so 7 hours = (1/24)x7.
With your data in A1 enter this in A2. =A1-(1/24)*7

Paul,
Thanks for the explaination that 1 = day in Excel. I often wondered how the calculations for date/time worked. I had thought 1 = hour. And how long have I been using Excel...far too long not to know that!!!!Luckily I never did much in the way of time calculations.
