Formatting a cell to calculate time.
 

I have a time sheet that has a group of cells that calculate vacation or sick
time earned and used. How do I format a cell so that 0:45 shown in the cell
means 45 minutes and not 12:45 am.

Formatting a cell to calculate time.
 

This is what I have. I have a time sheet that has an area that calculates
vacation, sick, and comp time hours earned and used each month. It transfers
ending balances automatically to the next sheet/month. This month, March, I
had a beginning comp time balance of 45 minutes/:45 which is shown in cell
O22 as 0:45. So far I have earned 2 hours and 45 minutes/2:45 in comp time
shown in cell O25 as 2:45 and have used 3 hours and 30 minutes/3:30 of comp
time shown in cell O23 as 3:30 leaving me with zero time currently. However
the ending balance shown in cell O26 shows #########. The formula I have for
cell O26 is =O22+O25-O23. I think my problem is that the cells are formatted
so that the values shown are calculated as time of day instead of simply
hours and minutes. Any fixes for this?

Hi Lee,

The only problem I can think of is column width, because for me the values
in your example gave 0:00 when column O was formatted h:mm, and 0 when
formatted [m]. Increase column width, and post what happens!
