In a previous video (https://youtu.be/uhzLYTupl9I) I shared this challenge to convert time/duration stored as text into time values that can be used for calculations and analytics.
Thanks to everyone that commented on the video and blog post with solutions. In this video we look at a solutions posted by Jon Peltier, Graham, and Charles Marshall.
Each solution uses a custom function (UDF) that is written with VBA code. The UDFs allow us to pass the text through as an argument, then process/calculate the result with various coding techniques in VBA, and output the result to the cell.
