URGENT help with calculating time Thx
 

I Urgently need how to solve the following equation.

I have a colum that displays date and time as such:

May 02, 2006; 08:53

Have no problem removing the Date stuff and therefore only working
with:

08:53 format

I need to know how to calculate the full COLUMN when there are some 70
cells in the format hh:mm

I need to display the total hours and minutes:

I,e: Column A
cell 1 08:30
all the way through to
cell 70 10:21

Many many thanks

Graeme

Format column B as time, and in B1 add =--MID(A1,FIND("; ",A1)+2,99), then
copy down.

Do you mean that you want to add up (sum) all the hours and minutes
from this column? I'm not sure why you would want to do this, but you
could enter this formula somewhe

=sum(A1:A70)

and then select the cell and Format | Cell | Number (tab), scroll down
to Custom and enter [h]:mm as the format. This will give you total
hours in a form like 37:55 (i.e. it does not wrap at 24 hours)

I hope this is what you want - post back if not.
