Default how to add hours and show actual hours not decimal numbers

Just for testing purpose

Open a new workbook and enter times in the cells and add them

ie A1 11:00
B1 19:00
C1 = B1-A1

You'll find that they display as HH:MM, no decimals in sight

So back to your workbooks, format the cells used as Time

Excel is pretty good at etting the initial format right and handles
calculations the same

The simple formula =B1-A1 can be improved to handle night workers
ie 22:00 to 07:00, here C1 would be =IF(B1A1, B1-A1, 1+B1-A1)

The 1 is 1 whole day, ie 24 hours

I am trying to put together an employee work schedule, showing actual
hours
for punch in and out times. How do I set it up to add actual hours not
decimal hours. Example: 11 hours is 0.46, if I change it to military
time it
will show 11 hours for the day but the total for the week is still all
of the
decimals added up. This is probably simple to do but I am too new with
this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks
