Converting Time to a number

I have a file which contains the open and close activity for a store over multiple days.  What I am trying to do is to provide an average opening and closing time for the store.  What I need to do is convert the time column to a numerical field and then summarize on that field.  For example, in Excel converting 7:30 AM to numeric results in 0.31.  That is exactly what I am trying to do in Alteryx.  Any help?
