Convert Military Time to Standard Time in Excel

Using TIMEVALUE Formula

To change military time to standard time in Excel, use the TIMEVALUE formula. This function converts a time in text format into a decimal number Excel recognizes as time. Apply the formula to the cell containing military time for a direct conversion.

Using Format Menu

Alternatively, utilize Excel's format menu for conversion. Select the cell with military time, navigate to the format menu, and modify the time format to a 12-hour clock. This changes the display from 24-hour to 12-hour format without altering the cell's value.

Using TEXT Formula

The TEXT formula is another method for conversion. It transforms military time into standard time by formatting the cell value as text in the desired 12-hour format, including AM or PM. This formula also provides the reverse conversion, from standard time to military time, if needed.
