Default Time (gentlemen, please)

I'm trying to add up a column of times (format/custom hh:mm) however, when 24
hours is reached and exceeded, the results start at 00:00 again rather than
just continuing to add up. How can I get around this?
Thanks

Format the cell with the SUM in it using Custom, as [hh]:mm. The
square brackets around the hh tell excel not to wrap hours above 24.

Hope this helps.

Give that cell the number format "[h]:mm:ss". The seconds portion is
optional, but the hour portion needs the square brackets.
