Libby,
What number format are you using in the result cell. It should be formatted as [hh]:mm:ss including the [] characters. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Libby" wrote in message ...

FormatCellsCustom. In the Type box, enter something like [hh]:mm. The

Libby,
When Excel displays times, it displays them as "time-of-day" times, always between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59. The square brackets [] indicate to Excel not to "roll over" the time at 24:00:00, so a time of 36 hours, 30 minutes is displayed as 36:30 rather than 12:30. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Libby" wrote in message ...
