Need Help Please
I need some help working with times. I need to be able to add up times worked for 12 months of the year. For example if one workd 49 hours and 23 minutes the month of Jan and the same for Feb, how do I do this and keep a running sum of them? I can't see to figure out how to format it so that it does not change to time of day since it will be over 24 hours. Thanks. -- jlogan21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jlogan21's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30111 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=506029 |

Hi
What is the formula you are using? What does the data look like in the source cells being summed? -- Regards Roger Govier "jlogan21" wrote in message ... Ok I tried that and this is what happend.

I am just using the =SUM(A1:A10). But can't seem to figure out how to format the cells so that it will add the times correctly. I just dont know why it is changing the numbers the way that it is.

Each of those cells contains the total hours worked for the month. The example I was using was that Jan. has a total number of hours worked at 146 hours and 23 minutes. I am trying to do a year to date total in another celll, that will keep a total of all hours worked each month. At the moment I do not have any formatting as I cant figure out how it is supposed to be done so that it will add the hours and minutes correctly to keep the running total. Ultimate goal is to have a total time worked for the year.

Hi Jennifer
You're still not saying exactly what is in the cells A1:A10. Are there formulae in the cells, if so what are they? If you go to FormatCells, what is the format set to for those cells? Is it hh:mm, is it General, is it number? -- Regards Roger Govier "jlogan21" wrote in message ... Each of those cells contains the total hours worked for the month.

There is no formula in those cells. And they are not formatted anyway right now as I cant figure out what format to choose. Everytime I format one of the cells, it changes the amount. For example: A1 146 hours and 23 minutes is what I need it to be. But when I try to format it with the hh:mm one it changes it to like 3109:31 or something like that. I need it to be A1 146:23 A2 153:45 and so on. But those are hours and minutes. Then I need them all added up to determine the total number of hours worked in a year. So there will be 12 cells with the number of hours and minutes and then I will have a cell with the formula to add them all up. SO that cell will have the =SUM(A1:12) but still need it to be correct hours and minutes. I hope that clears things up! Thanks for your help!

Hi Jennifer
I can't think what is going on here. On a brand new sheet, if I type 146:23 into A1, and 153:45 into A2, then what I see is 146:23:00 and 153:45:00 If I sum these 2 cells, I see 308:31:00 If I look at the format for the cells, then XL has guessed I want hours running over 24, and set a Custom format of [h]:mm:ss I can get rid of the :00 to remove the seconds and just have the values shown as hours and minutes. This is with XL2003. Maybe earlier versions aren't so intelligent in their guessing, but I still can't see how it would get it that wrong. Try again on a fresh sheet and see what it does. If you are still having problems, then feel free to mail me direct with a copy of your sheet and I will try and see what is going on. To email me direct, remove NOSPAM from my email address. -- Regards Roger Govier "jlogan21" wrote in message ... There is no formula in those cells.

Ok now with that format it seems to work fine. I guess I did not try that one. Duh! Thank you so much for your help, it is greatly appreciated!
