Default Calculate Ending time using Start Time and Elapsed Time

Why =A1+(1/(24/B1)) and not =A1+(B1/24), Kim?
Apart from relative simplicity, the latter has the advantage that it doesn't
give a !DIV/0# error when B1 is empty or zero.

COL A has time from database
COL B has duration
COL C has formula =A1+(1/(24/B1))

24H display of time (aka military format) is merely a display format which
you ucan select in the typical fashion for COL A and COL C. DIsplay
format
has nothing to do with formula's calculation.

I have a data base pull that shows a starting time in hh:mm military
format,
and an elapsed time in number format (i.e. 30 minutes equals .50). I am
trying to find an equatioin that will add the Starting time and the
elapsed
time and show me an ending time in hh.mm military format.
