Sorry, but doesn't anyone lurk anymore.

The time over 24 hours must have been mentioned several times in the last
couple of days :)

[hh]:mm or [hh]:mm:ss

Hi,

I have a column that adds time which has been formatted to HH:MM in
custom
format. Just noticed that once the result reaches 24 hours then it
restarts
at zero. Not exactly what I had in mind! Could anyone suggest a
workaround
for this please.

Whilst I'm here... I wanted to do a data validation for this range to
ensure
that users enter times as HH:MM but couldn't figure out how to do it
Time did
not seem to be the right option as users will be adding discreet amounts
of
time rather than entering a specific time. Couldn't figure how to use
custom;
tried HH:MM but think I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

TIA
