Summing cells defined as Time hh:mm
I looked at a couple of similar questions but have not been able to achieve a
good result. I have a few cells defined as Time HH:MM. I want to sum them up so I get hours and minutes. In the cell to hold the total, I used "=SUM(N43:N47)". I formatted the Total cell as custom with a format of [hh]:mm. The original values were 10:00, 3:00, 12:00. I was expecting to get 25:00. What I am getting is 577:00 Which is funny, but not very useful. Can you help, Ed |

Make sure you don't have an AM/PM problem. If you format your cells as
General you should see: 0.416666667 0.125 0.5 1.041666667 -- Gary''s Student "Ed H" wrote: I looked at a couple of similar questions but have not been able to achieve a good result.

They are indeed empty.

Set them to 0:00 with no difference. Also set them to 1:00 with no difference.
