I have been using the formula =VALUE(MID($C6,(FIND(" ",$C6,1))+1,FIND("
",$C6,1)-4)) in column B but it returns the wrong time of day. When it has to
calculate 05:13 for example it returned 17:13. Must be an easy fix and
would appreciate your help.
 
I copied the your formula into C1 but B1 still returns 17:13....am I missing
something?

Sorry,

I had an elderly moment

Try this instead

MID(C1,FIND(" ",C1,1)+1,(FIND(" ",C1,FIND(" ",C1,1)+1)-FIND(" ",C1,1)))

Glad I could help.

As an afterthought if there's no leading zero and you want to display one
modify to this

=MID(C1,FIND(" ",C1,1)+1,(FIND(" ",C1,FIND(" ",C1,1)+1)-FIND("
",C1,1)))+TIME(0,0,0)

format as hh:mm
