You need to enter 0 for hours like

0:25:16

how else would excel know it is not 25 hours?
Finally use a custom format of [mm]:ss or else
you won't get the right display

I need to add a long list of minutes and seconds. (ex. 25:16, 16:39,
27:41)
I have looked at all the functions and cannot find one that works. They
all
want to add the times assuming they are hours and minutes or time on a
clock.
I want to find a function that would add up the previous example and
display
it as 69:36 total minutes and seconds. It seems like one of the problems
I
am running into is finding or creating my own function that knows to add
up
the seconds to 60, not 100 like most decimal functions are used to. Does
anyone have an answer? I would be forever grateful!
