Adding Time

G

Guest

I'd like to enter a time in hours, minutes, and seconds that is beyond the
standard AM and PM formats (e.g., 45:56:06 or 34:10:34). I'd also like to add
times together (e.g., 33:33:33 plus 30:30:30 = 63:63:63).

The only timestamps among Excel's format options seem to be AM and PM, which
limits the time to a range of 00:00:00 through 24:00:00. I want to go higher
than 24:00:00.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Custom format your cells as [hh]:mm:ss

This allows "elapsed time" and can go beyond 24 hours

That works. Thanks.

I'd also like to convert the accumulated time (e.g., 58:12:10) into total
minutes as a whole number and fraction (e.g., 3492.16, which equals 58 hours
times 60 minutes plus 12 minutes plus 10 seconds).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Bob

and format as number or general.
