You need to use a custom number format of

[hh]:mm

The [] characters prevent Excel from "rolling over" at 24 hours.

want to add up time eg:Cell A1(13:00) + Cell A2(13:00) = Cell
A3(26:00),
If I put in A3 the formula: =A1+A2 it works fine but if A1 & A2
are the
result of a formula from several other Cells eg:
B1(03:00)+B2(06:00)+B3(04:00) the result is 02:00 in Cell A3, I
know
this is due to the 24 Hour clock but how can I get round it, I
have
tried every time format and just get numbers. I have been on
this
problem for hours now and its driving me mad, Please can
somebody
help!!
