It's about time again

[LMB]

Hi,

I am keeping track of time I work at home. The first formula in cells E2 through E17 gives me the total hours I worked after entering starting time and ending time. The second formula calculates the totals from the E column. A problem arises when the sum is more than 24, if it's 27 hours, the answer is 3 instead of 27. What can I use so the sum of my hours just get totaled?

Thanks,
Linda

Starts in cell E2 and goes to E17
=MOD(C2-B2,1)


=SUM(E2:E17)

Format the cell with a custom number format of

[h]:mm
or
[h]:mm:ss

How or where do I type that? I looked in the cell properties and selected custom and h:mm but it keeps reverting back to the time format.

Hey, nevermind. I figured it out. I typed it in the custom box over the other h:mm and it worked.

I changed my mind....I do have one more question.

What is the difference between [h]:mm which after I typed that in my custom box the total hours returned were correct and h:mm which was in the properties of the custom format but not calculating total hours past 24?

the brackets tell XL's display engine not to "roll over" the hours every
24, but to show the total hours.

Similarly, [m]:ss will cause XL to display the number of minutes, rather
than rolling over every 60.

Gee, I can't believe how time flys. Thanks!
