Default How to sum and substract hours, minutes and seconds

Hello,
I'm searching for a function that count hours, minutes and seconds. When I
use SUM to count 18:45 and 16.30 it keep giving me 11:15 as a result,
although when I highlight 18:45 and 16.30 it shows that the sum is 35:15 in
the bar bellow. Any suggestions?

You need to format the cell with the result in as Custom -- [h]:mm:ss.
The square brackets around the hours prevent these from being truncated
if they exceed 24.

Hope this helps.

Format the answer cell as [h]:mm (or [h]:mm:ss if you want to show the zero
seconds too).

And I trust that when you've said 16.30 you meant to say 16:30?
