Add hours together
I'm trying to do up a timesheet - very basic mon-fri. I have time in and
lunch and time out. At the end of each row I have a formula that calculates 7:15 hours i.e. number of hours worked that day. When I try to add up the five rows for the weekly total I get 12:15 but it should add up to 36:15 i.e. 36 hours and fifteen minutes. I've tried converting to serial number but can't seem to get it to work. There was a mention of a link to cpearson but that seems very complicated. I just want to add hours together to get a total number of hours. |

Format/Cells/Number/Custom [h]:mm

Use the Custom Number Format [h]:mm for the cell(s) that contains the formula.
