I want to add up a column of "time" in hours and minutes eg. 8:30 9:30 10:30 ie 8 hours 30 mins, 9 hours 30 mins, 10 hours 30 mins.

I want the result in hours and minutes ie 28:30, but formatting as custom hh:mm it returns 4:30.

Any thoughts?

    Try this

    [hh]:mm
    When will the "Edit" and "Quote" button get fixed on the mobile web interface?

    Thats it!!!! Thanks. Although I dont see [hh]:mm in the list of custom formats, only [hh]:mm:ss. Office 2010.

    I guess theres some way of editing formats.

    Go to "Custom" formats and just type it in the top box

    For info [hh] used to allow counting time, normally looks at time in 24 hour blocks, so 25:00 is 01:00 next day.
