I have a little problem, that I know you guys can help me with...

I have a column full of Times... they are in the following format:

Column A
0H:8M
9H:39M
14H:46M ... and so on.

What do I need to do to add these,... result should be 24H:33M usin
the forementioned rows??? (scratching head)

Once someone cracks this... I want to create a macro to run thi
operation automatically.

Thanks in advance!

hmmm... a little breakthrough
ColumnA
0H:8M
9H:39M
14H:46M
How do I get 24H:33M ????

Playing around and formatting the four cells (Format=Cells=Numbe
Tab=Time=37:30:55)...
ColumnB
0:08
9:39
14:46
24:33

So now I guess I need to eliminate the H(s) and M(s) add the column an
then add the H(s) and M(s) back again... to get 24H:33M :) gettin
there!!

format the cell with the sum as

[hh]"H":mm"M"

using format = cells, select the number tab, go to custom

You can format your other cells the same way. Just enter the times like
00:80 9:39 14:46 so they are interpreted as times.

Thanks Tom!

It seems we found it at the same time... I had gotten [h]"H":mm"M";
already... I'm working on a macro but I don't want to set a definit
range.

i.e.

Column A
1
2
...to
255
How can I create an inputbox that would ask me for the range??
or know exactly when to stop ???

On error resume next
set rng = Application.InputBox( _
"Please select range with mouse", type:=8)
On Error goto 0
if not rng is nothing then

I finally have access to the full report (5,400+ rows of data). Most o
the data is unimportant to me except for "Column D". Each cell i
column D is in the following format...

Column D
0H:8M
9H:39M
14H:46M ... and so on.

So all these cells are formatted as [hh]"H":mm"M
(Format=Cells=Number tab=Custom)

Adding these cells is "no problem". The obstacle is that there are
different color cells within column D. I was able to get the exact RG
shade or color (I don't know if this could help).

Color.........R.....G.....B
Green.....204...255..204
Yellow....255...255..153
Red........255...128..128

What I want to accomplish is the following:
Select a range in column D of... let's say 200 rows and have code..
using something like an input box

'...Thanks Tom O
On error resume next
set rng = Application.InputBox( _
"Please select range with mouse", type:=8)
On Error goto 0
if not rng is nothing then

Add total time for Green, Yellow and Red cells... which brings anothe
factor to this whole operation... as time exceeds 24 hours Days ar
created. Therefore, adding 200 rows for example might yield a tota
green cells 4D:14H:46M... Its the 4D (D=days) that I didnt take int
consideration.


I would really be gratefull beyong belief, if anyone can come up with
solution.
