title: converting time from excel to matlab
body: <p>I'm trying to import data from excel into matlab where the data contains a column of time where time is in the format of <code>00:05</code>, <code>22:00</code> etc...</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way of importing this into matlab without changing the format?</p>
  
  <p>Currently, when importing the vector into matlab, it changes the values to decimals which is not what I need.</p>
