If this is a simple string, then the extract is quite simple. But if it contains date formulas in a way, it is a wee more complicated. But let us start with the simple assumption, that the string is exactly the one you give, including e.g. the lacking space before "to":

Assuming your string is in cell A1, cell B1 could contain:

=CONCATENATE(MID(A1,12,5)," - ",MID(A1,34,5))

A wee more safe could be:

=CONCATENATE(MID(A1,12,5)," - ",LEFT(RIGHT(A1,8),5))

Both these give the result you wanted. But what if the date is not the same, which result do you wish then? In that case I think you should do transforms into date format (DATEVALUE), but much depends on what you really want.

Thanks for reading, but I just manually formatted one page, and then I can
copy/paste to other pages.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

I'd still like to know how to do it though. I'm thinking a macro is really
what I need.

Column A has the following data:

2015-01-06 00:00:00to 2015-01-06 01:00:00

I want a formula in column B to convert it to this:

00:00 - 01:00

This looks easy, I just don't have the know how to do it.

It's basically a copy, minus the yyyy-mm-dd, and replacing the "to" with a
dash. You can just point me in the right direction if you want, any help
appreciated.

Thanks
