Problems with time format in excel
I have a spreadsheet with data that represents mins and seconds i.e. 13:30 =
13 mins 30 seconds. When I try to total the column, Excel thinks 13 represents hours and resets when it gets to 24. I have tried to change the format via Custom/special and time but nothing seems to work. I need to add up the total number of minutes and seconds (this is a mobile phone bill!). Hope someone can help, thank you in advance. Cheers, T |

Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour, you can
simply use the hours that XL *thinks* you're using, and just consider the hours as your minutes. Simply format the cell containing the total formula to: [h]:mm That way you won't have to enter any additional numbers. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "Toosh" wrote in message ...
