Column with time data (in Text) gives error when converting to time

Hi Community,

 

I have a Text column with time text in it like: 345:04:12 - 345 hours; 04 minutes; 12 seconds.

But when I try to change the type to time it generates an error, obviously. 

I need to calculate with this column to determine when some action where triggered or done by people.

Is there another datatype then time to do the calculation with?

if you are going to compare with other date/time, you would need to convert it to the same data type, probably with some code.
