Default Adding Time in Excel - Frustating experience!!

This returns the value 314:30:00 for my Grand Total.

Digging deeper into my problem, this is what I found:

The Hours column has the formula: =B1-A1 etc.,
Specific Cells on Subtotal column have the formula: =Sum(C1:C3) with Format
Time 13:30
The last cell on the Subtotal Column has the formula: =Sum(C1:C33) with
Format [hh]:m

I introduced values in a new column (Col E) where the values in this column
= Col D. Now when I sum Col D into Grand Total with Format [hh]:m it totals
up correctly to 26:30.

How would you fix this without using Column M?

Simply change the format on your grand total member to Time and the one that
shows 37:30:55 (7th in list). This will return:

8:00 AM 9:00 PM 13:00
12:30 AM 2:30 PM 14:00
27:00:00

Hi,

I have the following info in an excel spreadsheet:

Starttime EndTime Hours SubTotal
8:00 am 9:00 am 1:00
12:30 pm 2:30 pm 2:00
3:00


I am adding all the cells in the Subtotal Column and my grand total is 24
hours...something like 27:30. I used the formula =sum(D1:D34) on the Grand
total field on Column D and formatted the cell as [hh]:m following the advice
in this discussion forum.

My total is still not coming to 27:30. It shows up as 314:30. What am I
doing wrong? Can someone help me please?
