Default adding times again

Went through a selection of Voda values and deleted the first 0 and it
worked. Tell me I don't have to do that for all the values :-(
so ended up with 0:00:12 for instance.

Hi
Off to work so if I'm a bit slow getting back you know why.
Just did that. In general the sum is just 0.
In time the sum is 00:00:00.
The sum box has the range in it

[h]... is a Time format, just not on it's normal list

Right, back to basics.
Either work on a copy of the worksheet or *don't save* it after these
changes.

Click on the column with the times and the sum in
Format to general

Remember what these look like
Format the whole column again to Time (13:30:55 option)

Now what do you see in the cells and the sum.

Rememebr the sum may display wrong - we'll deal with that later.

No. Still comes up with 0's.
When I go back to format it shows it as being in time format even though
I
set [h]:mm:ss.
calm calm calm!

No need to get annoyed! If you format as hh:mm:ss, you will be stuck
in a
24
hour loop. If you now add 08:30:00, 09:30:00 and 08:00, you will get a
total
of 02:00:00. If you format as [h]:mm:ss, you will get 26:00:00. There's
a
load of difference between formatting as 00:00:00, hh:mm:ss and
[h]:mm:ss

No luck so far

Think I just tried that??
And still 00:00
I'm formatting the cells to custom 00:00:00 then in the total box
making
sure that is the same format.
Sigma on the total cell which then seems to want a range of cells put
in.
Click the top cell and highlight down to the lowest puts the range
in.
Enter and 0's.
