Got a question about how I can change a date/time format in Excel.
I have this format 2020-05-29 06-PM
and I need to change it to be like this YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
I have a table of above 20000 lines which is needed to be changed.
I already try to do like this - =TEXT(A3,”YYYY:MM:DD HH”)’
and I receive an #ERROR!
Any suggestion on how can I do it?
Also important note that I'm using excel spreadsheets in Google Drive. If it's even possible to make in Google Drive Excel spreadsheets or should I use regular Excel on my PC?
EDIT1 I have a first column like this and I did accordingly to @Gary'sStudent answer and I it goes strange in one way.

Transforms to this

2020-05-28 10-00
2020-05-28 21-00
2020-05-28 20-00
Why it goes like 16:00/15:00 when it's supposed to go 04:00 and 03:00 accordingly?

try this:
=TEXT(A1,"YYYY-MM-DD [hh]-mm")
or same format in Custom Format [CTRL]+[1]

With data in A1, in another cell enter:
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(A1,10))+TIME(MID(A1,12,2),0,0)+IF(RIGHT(A1,2)="PM",TIME(12,0,0),0)
and format as you require:
NOTE:
There are three parts:
DATEVALUE()
gets the dateTIME()
gets the hourIF()
bumps by 12 hours if requiredFormat is 24 hr.

Here is the full posted data set with the output in column C:
