I am calculating times by dividing a distance by a speed. The results are in
cells formatted hh:mm but always seem to be rounded down so that the sum of
the column may be several minutes out, compared to the times displayed.

If I reformat the cells hh:mm:ss then I can see for example what was 01:32
displayed as 01:32:57. I want this to appear as 01:33.

Any ideas?

Try this

=ROUND(A18*1440,0)/1440

Rounds down if 29 sec and rounds up 31 sec

Hi!

So you want to round to the nearest minute?

=ROUND(A1/(1/1440),0)*1/1440

Or:

=ROUND(A1/TIME(0,1,0),0)*TIME(0,1,0)
