That's what I said, if it is formatting then the values are the same and you
cannot use a function to
find a difference. I mean what difference do you see between

3:00

and

3:00:00

except that one is formatted for seconds as well, the underlying value is
still 0.125 and multiplied with 24 it will return 3

I was playing with this yesterday as it happens and yes, if you enter 3:00
it's effectively 3 hours.

Suggest if the OP want minutes, they need to use 00:03:00
Works for me. :)
If they already have data in a "wrong" format, as you suggest, they have a
problem :)
