Add hours together

I'm trying to do up a timesheet - very basic mon-fri. I have time in and
lunch and time out. At the end of each row I have a formula that calculates
7:15 hours i.e. number of hours worked that day. When I try to add up the
five rows for the weekly total I get 12:15 but it should add up to 36:15 i.e.
36 hours and fifteen minutes. I've tried converting to serial number but
can't seem to get it to work. There was a mention of a link to cpearson but
that seems very complicated. I just want to add hours together to get a total
number of hours.

Format the cell in which you have the SUM function:

[h]:mm

The [] around the h prevent it from "rolling over" every 24 hours.


--ron
 
Format/Cells/Number/Custom [h]:mm

will prevent the hours from "rolling over" every 24:00
