Thanks. What happens if you do the following?
- Select column B.
- On the Data tab of the ribbon, click Text to Columns.
- Select Delimited, then click Finish.
This worked for me - the values are now right-aligned:
Workbook attached.

Very strange! Could you attach a small sample workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar?

Hello and thanks for answer!
This is very weird.. I tried your method, but nothing happens.
When i downloaded your corrected "Help with timestamp" execl file, i can do calculations, as seen in picture below:
I tried copy and paste all my timestamps into your corrected file, but that did not work either..
I can try to delete and reinstall Excel, if you dont have any other options?
again, thanks for reply 🙂

Has anything changed in your regional settings in Windows?
Reinstalling Office may not be necessary, there should be a repair option:
- Select Start > Settings.
- Select Apps.
- Scroll down the list of apps and select your version of Office.
- Click the ... button on the right hand side and select Modify.
