Hi
This issue can be fixed in one of 2 ways without the need of formulas and functions
Method 1:
Power Query
- Convert the column showing date and time (or even the entire list) into Table (CTRL +T)
- Click on the Data Tab >> From Table >> Most probably there will be an automatic change in Data Type to the correct Date. If Not
- Select the Date column to Fix >> Click on Add Column
- To the Right side >> Click on Date >> Date Only
- Or Click on Time >> Time Only
- Remove unwanted columns (right Click >.remove)
- Click on the Home Tab >> Close and load >. Data Fixed an sent back to Excel
Method 2:
Text To Column
- select the Column to Fix
- Data Tab >> Text To Column
- Step 1 of the Wizard >> Select Delimiter
- Step 2 >> Select Space
- Step 3 >> Select MDY (for Date)
- Select Destination to paste Fixed Data
Hope that helps

IMHO, both won't convert 123456 into 12:34:56

Hi Sergei, How are you... It's too late in the evening now :)
it's exactly 43670.0902777778
Well, you know, I am talking about the rightmost column in the screenshot...
When we do not have sample Excel file then we are just guessing what the question is
Take care my friend
