Default Adding time

Hi Mike,

I would suggest that your times are entered as text and not as formatted
times.

Select the column and then set the number format to custom format to [hh]:mm

Then select any blank cell on the worksheet and enter 1 and then copy that
cell and then select all of your times and Paste Special - Multiply to force
the entries from text to time. (Multiplying by 1 does not change the value)

Note that the square brackets around the hh forces it to remain in hours and
not start the time again after 24hrs.
