Default adding times

If Rick's formula didn't work, maybe you could share the values that are in G6
and F6.

And what you saw with Rick's formula and what you expected/wanted to see.

I tried that, but to no avail. I cant seem to figure it out. I usually just
hop on microsoft's site and look up the formula but i have exactly what they
are asking for and it still wont calculate it correctly.

For my job i have to track my own hours. I am trying to make a sheet that
will add up my own hours for me. I have four columns that I type in my
hours
and then I total it for the day using "=TEXT(G6-F6, "H:MM")". But then
when I
try to total it for the week it comes up with a screwy number once I go
over
a 24 hour period. I tried typing "=SUM(I6:I12)*24" but it still doesnt add
up
correctly. What am i doing wrong?


Try putting the "h" in square-brackets...

=TEXT(G6-F6, "[h]:mm:)
