Need help adding hours exceeding 24 hours
Help please - I am a novice when it comes to spreadsheet-functions!
In a spreadsheet I try to add hours exceeding 24 hrs. What I need is the formula to put in the resulting cell, in order to get the result in hours and minutes (not in hundreds) Ex: 05:10 01:50 06:30 10:20 09:00 00:00 Formula here? "=SUM(A1:A6)*24" is giving me 20:00, using "user-defined tt:mm." Using "Digits", the result gives 32,83" - where the result was supposed to be 32:50 hours and minutes." Best regards, Faerk (frm. Denmark) |

Need help adding hours exceeding 24 hours
It is very easy:
Select cell with sum function and use Format-CellsNumber tab and use Custom option. Enter [HH]:mm and it will summarize over 24h limit... sasa stankovic "faerk" wrote in message ...

First of all since you are using *24 you should format it as general or a
number and not time, if you which you seem to have done you will get 32.833333 which is correct. If you format as [tt]:mm (I am using Swedish format, I am assuming Danish format is similar) Then you should get 32:50 which equals 32.833333, 32:30 equals 32.50 in decimal time -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "faerk" wrote in message ...

Thanks to you both!
I must be extraordinary dum, since I cant follow your reciepts. Where do I put the "[TT]:mm" like this? =SUM(C6:C19)[24]:60, or like this: =SUM(C6:C19)[TT]:mm, or? regards Faerk "Peo Sjoblom" skrev: First of all since you are using *24 you should format it as general or a number and not time, if you which you seem to have done you will get 32.833333 which is correct.

- assuming your formula =Sum(A1:A6) is in cell A7 format the cell by going
to Formatcellscustom and type in the type tab [hh]:mm this will give you the correct answer... Ok, but since my Spreadsheet is in Danish lang, I dont know where to find this tab. Again... can I Write like this: =SUM(C6:C19)[hh]:mm, or will one of you send me a screenshot or two, to: efaerk(at)gmail.com, so I can compare your versions tabs a.s.o. with my Danish version, please?
