Default Adding Up Time Calcs

I am building a spreadsheet to add up hours worked per day and cumulative
hours worked per week. I can get the hours per day subtotal fine but get
wierd numbers for the cummulative hours per week.

All cells are formatted as hLmm and the Total for the Week cell has the
formula of =SUM(B22:H22) but the anser I am getting comes no where near the
actual sum of those cells.

Can you solve this?

Your results are being truncated to a number less than 24 hours. To display
hour greater than 24 hours you need to use the time format under Custom
Format that has a square bracket around the hours [h].

In the total cell right click. Format Cells--Select Custom and enter [h]:mm


If this post helps click Yes
