Excel keeps times as a fraction of a day. For example: 1 hour = 1/24 =
0.04166667; 1 minute = 1/(24 *60) = 0.00069444 and 1 second = 1/(24 * 60 *
60) = 0.00001157. You will have to sum your times and display the result as
time - e.g. [h]mm:ss. I suggest you go here and read about time.

I need to total phone minutes used by employees which I need to add up the
exact time of the calls.
00:01:15, one minute and 15 seconds, but when I try to use sum to total
the
column it will not calculate time...what can I do?
