Default convert time imported as text to time format for calculations

I imported some data into excel that is in a dbf file. two of the columns
contain time information expressed in the military format (No : separating
the hours and minutes). When I calculate the difference, the answer is in
base 100 format ie from 1300 hours to 1400 hours is 100 units, not 60. How
do I either convert these cells into a time format that will properly format
the answer or take the answer given and have it make sense. ANything less
than 1 hour reads okay, anything over is not.
