Time Formula?????
want to add up time eg:Cell A1(13:00) + Cell A2(13:00) = Cell A3(26:00), If I put in A3 the formula: =A1+A2 it works fine but if A1 & A2 are the result of a formula from several other Cells eg: B1(03:00)+B2(06:00)+B3(04:00) the result is 02:00 in Cell A3, I know this is due to the 24 Hour clock but how can I get round it, I have tried every time format and just get numbers. I have been on this problem for hours now and its driving me mad, Please can somebody help!! -- Chris Watson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chris Watson's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=4700 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=511047 |
