Default Adding of times total to be in hours

Hi thought this would be simple but .....

MY wife is paid by hour so I created a simple spread sheet:

Start time end time and hours worked using a really sophisticated =E5-C5

Ok that works

Then have a row for each day of the month



ON thebottom row I used =SUM(G2:G32) to get the total number of hours she worked and it works perfectly until the total reaches 22 hours

the total them seems to go into days hours minutes etc

I'd like the total to be in hours and minutes

Is there a way to do this?

thanks

Ian

Hi Ian

You have to use a "user defined" format for the cell:
[hh]:mm

First selct the cell you want assign a format.
Then from the Menue choose
- Home
- Click on the small arrow besides "Number"
- In the new dialog choose "Number" again, and select the last Item in the list reading "Custom"
It will show you the format which is applied to the selected cell.
- Where it reads "Type" below you can enter the format you desire e.g. [hh]:mm. The field above gives you a preview how your format affects the cell value.
Edit: I have to correct this one: That's nonsense, sorry, formats doesn't affect the value of a cell, only the way it is displayed. The value remains the same!

More about customized formats you will find for example on this page:
