Question Adding a long column of time increments in seconds

adding imported time segments, mainly in seconds. ( :ss)

Daily, I import a long column of data broken down in time (minutes and seconds) up to 150 rows.
I need to get a sum of the entire column. The numbers, minutes and seconds, appear randomly in the rows. example;
:55
:33
:48


1:48
:31
:03
12:34

The sum should be 17:12 (mm:ss)

Because of the random mixed formatting ( :ss & mm:ss) I can't seem to find a cell formatting that works well for adding these.
The final result, I want to display in the format h:mm:ss
(often totals are around 18 hrs, 25 min, 32 sec - 18:25:32)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I assume that you import a textfile. In case yes, assign the : sign as delimiter. Now you get two columns. The first column (A) with minutes you just make a sum of. The second column (B) with seconds you make a sum of and divide the result by 60. After this you just summarize the two sums (A+B) and divide the result by (60*24) to get the result in days. This you format as hh:mm:ss. If the total is more than 24 hours you have to handle this by special formulas.

Kind regards
Bjorn
