minutes (not in hundreds) Ex:
05:10
01:50
06:30
10:20
09:00
00:00
Formula here?

"=SUM(A1:A6)*24" is giving me 20:00, using "user-defined tt:mm."

Using "Digits", the result gives 32,83" -

where the result was supposed to be 32:50 hours and minutes."

Hi Faerk
assuming your formula =Sum(A1:A6) is in cell A7 format the cell by going to Formatcellscustom and type in the type tab [hh]:mm
this will give you the correct answer
