Thank you for the valuable advice, I took your formula and modified
slightly
to produce the wanted result.
The formula I used is =Time(Trunc(C2/100,0),Mod(C2,100),0).
That produced the time format TS likes, I also found out TS gets
confused if
AM/PM are used in the ascii source file when the time change from 12:59
PM
(12:59 not 23:59) to 1:00PM (13:00).

Thanks again.
