Default Count Help


I need to import data from another application (RM airline managment)
which i do using the .csv file.
It imports fine, but the data shows the departure times for aircraft in
0:00 format, which excel sees as h:mm. The problem i have is when an
aircraft departs early the figure is -0:03. The data i have is a
mixture of positive times (0:07) and negative times (-0:03) when i use
the count function it doesnt count any negative times only the
positive, unless i put in "" around the time (-"0:03") and using the
1904 date system.
Any ideas on solutions?
#was thinking if there is away of using the replace function to find
all the cells containing the "-" and enter the "s around the time to
allow the count function to work...?
#or am i being stupid and is there a way to set up the count function
to count the negative times as they are?

Any help will be greatly appriciated
Many thanks
Sam
