Summing minutes and seconds
 
I want to add minutes and seconds. It is entered into the worksheet as:

3:50 (this represents 3 minutes and 50 seconds)
0:45 (this represent 45 seconds)
I've formatted the cells so they are mm:ss

If I use a Sum function, it shows 35:00. I'm not sure what this is telling
me. It should be 4:35 (4 minutes and 35 seconds).

Although you formatted the first two cells correctly, the data was not
inputted correctly.

Input the first time as 0:3:50
and the second time as 0:0:45

Your sum should now work.
