Default Error adding up times in HH:MM format

Hi All,

I am baffled here. I have a row of times in HH:MM format. Time is the
amount of time doing fitness training (rather than time of day). At
the end I have a TOTAL TIME using the sum function to give a weekly
total of training time.
TOTAL
4:19 10:11 09:29 18:23 18:22 (???)


Above is what I have on my worksheet but the SUM of the values is
incorrect. According to my calculations this should be 42:22. Does
anyone have any idea why the SUM function is generating this number?

Thanks for your help
Paul

Hi,

Format the cell with [hh]:mm and the time won't roll back to 1 when it
exceeds 23.
