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?

For info [hh] used to allow counting time, normally looks at time in 24 hour blocks, so 25:00 is 01:00 next day.0
