software

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 amp; 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!!--

View this thread: www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=511047The math is fine. Fix the formatting:Instead of
h:mm
try
[h]:mm

this will allow the hours to get quot;largequot;

You need to use a custom number format of

[hh]:mm

The [] characters prevent Excel from quot;rolling overquot; at 24 hours.--
