I also cannot get Excel to sum time. I used the formula [h]:mm but it did
not work -the number is still displayed as 1:05 AM (for example). I'm not a
whiz at Excel so need more help.

Thanks,

Patti

Hi,

I have a column with an amount of time entered. For ex:

1:38
2:05
3:00
0:45
6:27

etc.

When I try summing these time increments in another cell, the answer
is 0:00 if the total is over 24. I just need to be able to sum the
column and see how much total time there is--hours and minutes. I
know it's a simple solution.

Thanks.
