Conversion of AM/PM to 24 hrs format

Hello JMP user,

Can you please suggest how to convert the time AM/PM to 24 hrs format.

In below table, column 1 is in "Character" Data Type and I want to convert it in 24hrs (h:m:s) format. 

 

Regards,

Chandan

@jthi gave you a good answer for exactly what you were looking to do. However, it's a good practice to use a store times in a time column.

If your data is always like that and you just want the hours, I would use formula with Word or Words and then just calculate the values together. One example below:

Num(Word(1, :Column 1)) + If(Word(2, :Column 1) == "PM", 12, 0);
